Merit badge · Hike & Bike · 2027
Draft: may still change
Since 1911, hundreds of thousands of Scouts have made the most of their two-wheel adventures by earning the Cycling merit badge. Whether you just got your first bicycle or have been cycling for years, you will learn more about your bike and what it can do by working on the requirements for this badge. Participants will learn about bike and trail maintenance. Several mountain bike rides take place throughout the week, and because they are physically demanding, we recommend Scouts be at least 14.

Getting ready
Do at home
Requirements 7b3, 7b4. These can't be done at camp. The Scout finishes them with a merit badge counselor in your council, before or after camp. Camp records everything the Scout completes here.
Read the Cycling merit badge requirements on scouting.org.
Signing up
Your unit leader registers each Scout for classes in MyCouncil when your week's registration opens in late April. Classes fill up, so list a second and third choice for each session.
