Abstract

The United States Boy Scout merit badge program provides non-formal educational experiences for boys from ages 10-17. This study analyzes the objectives of the twentythree science related merit badges using the lens of the revised Bloom's taxonomy. Merit badges requirements serve as objectives for this program. The verbs in the requirements were classified according to the revised taxonomy. Patterns were then analyzed within the merit badges, within the verbiage of the requirements, and across the entire science merit badge program. Overall, remembering and applying cognitive processes were emphasized the most. Recommendations are made for improving the clarity of merit badge requirements for Scouting and other non-formal educational programs.
