In addition, background information is provided that can help Scouters improve their advancement program within the their Troop, District, and Council. MeritBadge.com also actively seeks out businesses and professionals in merit badge related subject areas, and promotes the development of web pages dedicated to helping Scouts earn that merit badge. As of April, 1998, there are 17 web sites devoted to helping Scouts on specific merit badges, and MeritBadge.com has hundreds of links for information related to ALL merit badge topics.
