Scout requirements change from time to time and are detailed in the SCOUT REQUIREMENTS book which is designed to bring together the requirements for merit badges, rank advancements, and Eagle Palms, and to highlight recognitions for special opportunities. The requirements for merit badges, ranks, and Eagle Palms published in that book are effective January 1, of the published year and remain effective through December of the published year.
Merit Badge Counselors should check the:
Merit Badge Counselor Information, No. 34405 (turn in with application)

Merit Badge and NOVA Counselor Council Registration Policy
BSA policy is that a Scout may use requirements in effect when the Merit Badge work is started or they may choose to use new requirements if they change while working on the badge. THIS IS THE SCOUT'S CHOICE! There is NO TIME LIMIT on completing the badge other than reaching age 18 (without a National waiver) unless the badge requirements state a specific time limit. Accordingly, unit leaders and counselors should ensure the requirement book applicable to all years for their registered Scouts stay in the unit library until it is no longer needed for those Scouts working under "old" requirements.
From time to time, BSA updates Merit Badge pamphlets. The pamphlets are printed and distributed when published. If published BEFORE the requirements book is updated with any NEW requirements, BSA policy is that Scouts may choose to use the NEW requirements in the updated pamphlet or use the requirements in effect in the current requirements book.
Scouts can invite friends using Web site e-mail for First Class Requirement!
