The first steps (the ranks of Scout, Tenderfoot, 2nd Class, and 1st Class Scout) focus on Scout skills while the later (the ranks of Star, Life, and Eagle Scout) provide opportunities for developing leadership skills, community service, and exploring other fields by earning topical merit badges. Over 135 merit badges can be earned. From archery and wilderness survival to environmental science and robotics to cooking and theater, there's something for everyone!
