In this episode of The Buzz, we take a closer look at the BSA's newest merit badge, Robotics. It is the BSA's 126th currently available merit badge, joining the recently introduced Inventing and Geocaching merit badges. All three of these new badges focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), which takes a fun, adventurous approach to helping Scouts develop critical skills that are relevant and needed in today's competitive world.
