Putnam Scouts work on dentistry merit badge Dentistry is just one of 134 merit badges offered by the Boy Scouts of America. Covering a wide range of activities, skills, crafts and professions, merit badges have been an important part of Boy Scouting since it began in 1910. Subjects range from traditional Scouting skills, such as backpacking, camping, canoeing and wilderness sur- vival, to more modern subjects, such as geocaching, sustainability and disabili- ty awareness. “The idea behind the merit badge program is to introduce Scouts to an expert, such as a dentist in this case, to teach and demonstrate specialized skills that boys might not otherwise be exposed to,” said Troop 21 Scoutmaster Peter A.
