About the Logo

Scouts work on requirements, earn merit badges, and are awarded ranks. This activity is fondly called as Advancement in Scouting. In an effort to best represent this in a logo, I figured that advancement is best represented by an upward motion signified by an arrow or a compass point. Also, since this website is mainly about merit badges, why not bound this arrow within a merit badge border? So, I did just that. Thus the Merit Badge Center logo is a merit badge patch symbolizing advancement.

The logo was designed and first used on May 30, 2001.
