Citizenship in the World: Teaching the Merit Badge (Scouting in the Deep End)

Citizenship in the World is an Eagle-required merit badge. It is also good knowledge every-one should have about how governments work and what the major international political organizations, such as the UN, are. This short book is written to help merit badge counselors teach the BSA’s “Citizenship in the World" merit badge. Because of that, it includes much of the basic text of the merit badge requirements. Not every section of the merit badge is discussed because youth don't have to do every single item. Some are options (e.g., complete two of three items). Scouts will still need to do some research and activities on their own.
