I mean. maybe you aren’t familiar with the concept?
As a former merit badge counciler I can explain it.

Literally spreading misinformation online

Well I don’t need the edit if you undelete like this, thanks. And no, you’re not worth stalking, just pathetic enough to remember.
Do you need to pay for them? I thought you “earn” them like it is shown in the movies?!
You don’t pay for the badge directly. You do pay for your BSA membership, and you may have materials you need to purchase – some materials you can get for free from some retailers.
I mean, you can technically buy them. It just wouldn’t count for anything since a scout leader still has to sign off on whether or not the scout earned the badge.
They’re literally the analog of in-game achievements.
This is rage bait, surely.
they do make you pay to get the badges though.
modern scouting miks the parents like you wouldn’t believe it’s expense after expense
