Scout earns 122 merit badges

A Boy Scout in Maryland has earned every merit badge available, plus one that isn’t even offered anymore, according to an article in the Washington Post.

James Calderwood, an Eagle Scout in the National Capital Area Council, earned his 122nd merit badge — bugling — just two days before his 18th birthday.

He has so many merit badges that he had to sew three merit badge sashes together to make room for them all.

Only 2 percent of Boy Scouts earn Eagle Scout, which requires only 21 merit badges, so it’s very rare to earn all 121.
