The idea behind this app is good, a quick reference for badge requirements and which are Eagle required. However, there are so many badges missing from this app and no way to mark what has been completed. There should not be an "Answer" listed for the requirements. Giving some basic examples or guidelines for some of the more difficult tasks, or project related tasks would be alright, but not actual answers. Also, this app needs to be maintained as badges and requirements change.
Just as another user stated not all the merit badges for both eagle and general badges are listed. Not sure if this app was meant to be a true merit badge requirement app to help either boys or counselors but if it's going to be put out as such it needs to be complete.
Some of the pages have info that doesn't belong. And with the programming merit badge the "history of programming" section is a copy from a satirical blog, and as such the post is inaccurate (the post is meant to be humorous at its inaccuracies, but it seems the developer of this app thought it was true...)
Not a complete list of eagle required. example: it only had hiking as an option. It's a choose one, hiking, swimming, or biking. And th he other two are not offered. Things like this need to be addressed and fixed
I'll give it a star just because the eagle required badges were listed separately. The rest should be a reference tool. Not an answer key. A Scout is supposed to do the research and LEARN. Not to be spoon-fed answers. Dates not that important. I didn't expect date fields, just more info.
It does not list all the merit badges, stops at sports merit badge. It does not list all of he eagle required badges either like swimming and lifesaving.
This app has a lot of potential, but does not carry all the merit badges that the BSA offers. Don't expect a completed, polished app when dowloading this.
gives accurate requirements for the merit badges i take but they were not the exact requirements. However still a great app
Nice start and has some good help for scouts working on these badges would be better if it had more badges but it's a good start.
Missing several merit badges. There are no merit badges from T - W.
I just uninstalled this app, because it only has a partial list of MBs.
It gives scouts the answers to the requirements... Merit badges are supposed to be earned not given... And this app might as well be giving out merit badges
Really needs updating. Lots of things changed this year. Could be a great tool if it was updated.
That there is a few merit badges that are under eagle that actuly sent eagle
Shame on all the people that made this . Boy scouts are supposed earn and achieve there goals not use a app to cheat to get eagle cuz eagle is the highest ranking and I should know I'm a scout and I would never use it
Incomplete. For a reference of requirements, this is not what you what.
Love how all the Eagle required are listed. Just wish it was a comprehensive list of ALL badges.
This app is still missing many Eagle and non-Eagle Merit badges.
It appears several MB are missing from the list
I like how it is set up but does not have all merit badges
The rank of Eagle Scout used to something you worked for, not something an app gives you the answers to. Even if this app was available when I was a scout I would not have let it help me reach Eagle Scout. SHAME ON YOU FOR ASSISTING OTHERS CHEAT TO GET WHERE PEOPLE LIKE ME BUSTED OUR @@@ TO GET TO!!!
Doesn't have information for everything, but it saves me time on what it has.
Nice but not all of the merit badges included and needs updated!
This is not a complete list of merit badges or else it would be wonderfuL.
Awesome! A good aid for any scoutmaster.
Great app just wish it had more badges if so I'd give it a 5
But it's out of date
Add more merit badges, and put more in depth answers. Overall it is a great start!!
I like how the merit badges are set up, but disappointed that there are so few merit badges on here. It also would be real cool if you could check off, or even better, input a date next to each skill that gets completed so you could quick reference progress. BSA on the go app falls short also because you cannot input dates.
