Achievement Merit Badges
Our **Achievement Merit Badges** are a key part of celebrating children's progress across the five levels in our 10 essential skills: Physical Wellness, Mental Wellness, Social Wellness, Learning Skills, Independent Living Skills, Environmental Wellness, Financial Skills, Safety Skills, Practical Skills, and Global Citizenship. Each badge is earned as kids advance through levels like "Successful Beginner" in a specific skill, such as "Successful Beginner of Physical Wellness." As children move from **Successful Beginner** to **Capable Practitioner**, **Proficient Expert**, **Elite Professional**, and finally **Outstanding Master**, they collect badges that reflect their hard-earned progress. These merit badges serve as lasting tokens of their journey, keeping them motivated while highlighting the value of persistence and growth at every stage.
