A merit badge counselor can be connected (invited) by a unit leader to counsel a Scout in Scoutbook, or if the merit badge counselor knows the Scout's last name and member ID they can connect to the Scout themselves.

To print blue cards, click on your unit. Click on Print Blue Card, from the next screen you can print blue cards for any Scout over a range of dates. Use this page to print out the Application for Merit Badge blue cards on the 3 part sheets SKU #649857 or on blank paper.

Q: Does a Scout need a hard copy of a Blue Card when working on merit badges? No. Since the introduction of Scoutbook, the BSA has offered Scouts two ways of recording merit badge requirement completion: The Blue Card and Scoutbook. Both remain authorized methods to record merit badge work.

You can print merit badge pocket certificates from a PO in Scoutbook. Look toward the bottom of the PO screen. Scoutbook admins and certain leaders can access POs via the “Needs Purchasing” report on the troop menu.

WHAT IS A BLUE CARD? The Blue Card is a two-sided, tri-section document, which is formally known as The Application For Merit Badge. It is an official Boy Scouts of America document that serves as a record of progress toward completion of a merit badge.

The new Digital BlueCard can be displayed on a mobile phone, tablet and PC. On your device, this will be a secure, verifiable record of your transport and logistics industry work health and safety training. If you hold a BlueCard, and would like a Digital BlueCard now, TEACHO will provide you with one at no cost.

1) All sections must be legible and completed in ink. 2) Always use first and last name on all sections. 3) The Unit Leader only signs the card ONCE – on the front – prior to starting the badge! 4) Blue Cards are due at the first meeting of the Merit Badge session.

Log into Scoutbook, click on Administration > My Dashboard, and under My Merit Badge Counseling select Edit Merit Badges for Counselors. Then click on the badge you counsel, and if the Scout shows under Choose Scout you are connected.
