Ever wonder how your favorite apps, video games, or even the smart appliances in your kitchen actually work? It all comes down to code!
The Scouting America Programming Merit Badge is your ultimate gateway into the digital world. This badge is designed to take the mystery out of computer science and introduce Scouts to the fundamentals of programming. This badge will show you how the software we rely on every day is built from the ground up.
Earning this badge isn’t just about reading a manual; it’s about getting hands-on. You will learn the history of programming, explore different coding languages, understand digital safety, and write, test, and debug your very own code.
Price: $65 for Non-Members. Members save $15!
Requirements fulfilled: 1a-h; 2a; 3a&b; 4d; 5a-e. Full completion of badge, no outside work required.
