Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Primarily in comedy: With groups that are based on the Boy Scouts and what have you, you can name virtually anything, and odds are, there'll be a merit badge for it. Hopping On One Foot While Singing Led Zeppelin Tunes And Drinking Chocolate Milk Badge? Yep. Bruce Campbell Lookalike Badge? Check. Catching Arrows Blindfolded Badge? You know it! And many, many more. Sometimes this concept is used as a throw away line to explain some (suddenly essential) esoteric knowledge held by one of the heroes (particularly if they have not been set up as having those skills as part of their character): Might even be an Aesop of some kind about how Boy Scouts might be geeky or nerdy, but they do have some skills that come in handy at times, and maybe they are masculine after all.

In The Simpsons episode "Boy Scoutz 'n the Hood", Bart join the Junior Campers and earns various patches to sew onto his uniform. Some of them are for dubiously fantastic feats, the punchline being a shot of his "Patch Forgery" patch. In "Papa Don't Leech," Lisa is part of a Girl Scout-like organization and delivers an order of cookies to Mayor Quimby, who tries to fib his way out of paying after realizing how expensive they are. In response, Lisa points out her "Skepticism" patch. |

There's that old Looney Tunes cartoon where Porky Pig has licenses to do ridiculous things culminating in "permit to use Daffy Duck as motor". Though he doesn't have a marriage license, not being married. This isn't a merit badge, but it's gotta be related. He also has a License to Sell Hair Tonic to Bald Eagles in Omaha, Nebraska. |

Edward thens reveals that he has full set (having dishonestly bought them). We never find out a full list but it does include 'Motorcycle Maintenance'.

In "Franklin's Badge" on Franklin, Franklin wants to earn a badge for the local scout group, the Woodland Trailblazers, but his efforts keep getting interrupted by his little sister, who wants to join the group that he's in, but isn't old enough. He decides to create his own group called "Turtle Trackers" and eventually earns the "Caring Brother" badge for doing this for his sister. | |

One episode of The Fairly Oddparents had Cosmo getting various weird merit badges, such as the "Maul an Old Lady with a Cat" badge. Another had Timmy's scout troop escape from a pack of hungry coyotes by using Chester as a distraction. The mauled Chester sarcastically tells the troop he'll be taking his "Eaten by Coyotes Badge". Later in the same episode, Chester runs into the coyotes again and tells them they're about to earn their "Beaten by Chester Badge". |

Zigzagged in DuckTales (1987). Most merit badges the Junior Woodchucks receive are ordinary ones, although they earn one for Law Enforcement by helping their uncle apprehend the Beagle Boys. One episode shows Webby - who has only one, Swimming - admiring all of Launchpad's badges, but noticing he lacks the Swimming one. Naturally, this is a Chekhov's Gun. He can't swim, and she has to rescue him from drowning later. | |

The Junior Woodchucks continue to impress in DuckTales (2017). It doesn't come up as much, but badges include Sickle Sharpening, and Cartography, which doesn't sound like much except it requires you to map a location that has never been mapped by anybody before. Huey's opening short implies (but never states) that Bigfoot Catching is also a merit badge. They even have a merit badge for Failing, of which Launchpad has several. | |

There's a Gotham Girls webisode that has Harley Quinn and Batgirl use this gag for extreme humor value. Somehow a knot-tying merit badge in their world allows you to restrain an opponent head to toe in seconds. Well, if the younger scouts would PAY ATTENTION during Pioneering merit badge, (The real life equivalent) this might be closer to Truth in Television. |

Done in one episode of The Ren & Stimpy Show where the duo join up a Barrette Girls camp (despite being boys), where they're treated to a series of Amusing Injurys to gain badges for the most insane merits, such as (1) catching a snipe (which happens to be real, and extremely vicious), (2) flying (by falling over a gorge), falling on jacked rocks (while falling from said gorge), (3) drowning, (4) mutilation, (5) collecting badger eggs, and (5) bravery in the face of certain doom (done by Ren popping out of an ice-box of food yelling "ta-da!" while surrounded by a group of Angry Elk bear Club members, who were actually bears.) | |

The Fireside Girls of Phineas and Ferb, whose exploits can be as insanely overambitious as the title characters' schemes and so earned them all kinds of bizarre badges, often related to the boys' latest scheme. Once, Isabella casually mentions that they just earned their Mountain Moving badge, and we see the hole where it used to be, and the mountain in its new setting. Other times, they're trying to get badges in aeronautics or alligator wrestling. How about the "Reckless Disregard for Life and Limb" patch? (Though Isabella could have made that one up.) There's also the "I Saw a Cute Boy" patch, which Ginger awards herself upon seeing Baljeet. Another scout rescinds it, as she doesn't believe he counts. Notably, they don't have patches for everything. There are no patches for persistence or underwater horseback riding. You know, because seahorses are too small to ride. There are apparently different badges available for different continents; when the gang goes to Africa, Isabella is determined to get all the African-exclusive badges. One of them is for eating a bug, which one of the local women doesn't remember needing to do when she was a Fireside Girl, so it might have been a prank or joke that the overachieving Isabella took seriously. |

The Red Green Book: Wit and Wisdom of Possum Lodge has a set of badges which parody the Boy Scouts one. The more advanced ones, starting with Bowling and Fishing, require developing an obsession about the content, including dreaming about it. After a few other examples, it terminates with "Anything men enjoy", which can be used for practically anything. | |

The "Scoutrageous!" episode of The Goodies features the World Domination badge (up to that point only ever awarded to Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and David Frost. But Frost stole his.). It also features a montage of two of the characters earning badges they are blatantly making up as they go, including the Wig Spotters Badge, the Stealing A Pair Of Margaret Thatcher's Bloomers Badge, and the Cheering Up Lonely Housewives Whose Husbands Are Away At Work badge. |

Hilda: The Sparrow Scouts have their share of badges, most of them quite ordinary like "Friends of the Park" and "Level Three Friendly and Helpful badge". Near the end of episode 4, the trope is actually averted. When Frida and David successfully rescue Hilda and the last Vittra (a race of underground creatures) from Big Chipper, Frida cheers that this must be worth a 100 points for the 'Catch A Falling Friend' badge…only to admit that there isn't really such a badge (Hilda thinks there should be, though). Hilda also suggests they deserve a "Friend of the Vittras" badge, which doesn't exist either. | |

Naturally, Kuzco failed to achieve even one, meaning he had to obtain the highly-dangerous Condor Patch to avoid flunking out of school (It Makes Sense in Context).

The Boy Scouts, like everything else in Welcome to Night Vale, eccentric at best and a force of pure evil at worst. Therefore, its not really a surprise that Cecil is able to keep the radio broadcast coming after nearly being shut down using his "Subversive Radio Host Badge". Incidentally, you can actually buy that patch on their official website. At one point, Cecil uses the skills he learned earning the "Advanced Siege Tactics Badge" to bust into a armored bunker. While no specific badges are named, the mentions we've got of the NV Girl Scouts suggests they're no different. |

Russell from Up is a member of the Wilderness Explorers and has a Chest of Medals from all the badges he's collected. He's introduced approaching Carl Frederickson to offer help and earn his "Assisting the Elderly" badge. Other badges mentioned are "Extreme Mountaineering Lore" and "Wild Animal Defensive Arts", and the credits include several strange-looking ones, featuring such things as a radiation hazard symbol and a mushroom cloud. Those possibly reference David Hahn, "The Radioactive Boy Scout". Having received a Eagle Scout merit badge in Atomic Energy (presumably a "displaying understanding" project) he went on try building himself a breeder reactor. This never achieved critical mass, but did produce a dangerous amount of radiation. |

In The South Park episode "Jew Scouts", there are apparently two ways to get a Chutzpah badge: babysit the "Squirts" (the Jew Scouts' Cub Scout equivalent) OR capture a bear. | |

In The Darkside Detective, the local scouting organization is the Bloodwolves, and it's a running gag that whenever Dooley's Bloodwolf pack are in a potentially dangerous or frightening situation (such as "lurking outside a dark, spooky cave" or "abandoned in the snow on Christmas Eve") one of them will note that there's a merit badge for that. | |

In The Problem Solverz episode "K-999 and Da Little Explorerz", the trio encounters a young scout who needs to earn a badge for semaphore, which the characters define as "a system of flag communication famous for people not knowing what it is." Alfe then dresses as a scout and obtains every Little Explorer badge in order to get the badge for her. | |

This is pretty much the basis of the Nick Jr. preschooler series Hey Duggee, in which the Idiosyncratic Episode Naming is always based on these. "The Super Squirrel Badge" and "The Drawing Badge" are just a couple of examples of installments of the show. | |

Boy Scouts ½, an Elsewhere Fic of Ranma ½ that follows a group of Jusenkyo cursed Boy Scouts living in Western Massachusetts, mostly avoids this trope. Several actual merit badges are mentioned, such as Archery, Citizenship In the Community, Collections, Communications, Farm Mechanics, Pioneering, and Theater. However, on one occasion a character (who happens to be a super genius) mentions working on the Advanced Theoretical Quantum Astrophysics merit badge. This immediately lampshaded by one of the other characters, suspicious of such a badge actually existing. | |

In The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, Rodimus invented Rodimus Stars as a little morale-booster, and hands them out for almost any reason. Even Whirl has one, showing how meaningless they are. | |

Troop Beverly Hills has some fun with this one. Phyllis and her troop find no value in most of the traditionally woodsy official Wilderness Girl patches, but then Phyllis discovers a loophole: she can custom-design her own patches! Soon the entire troop is decked out in merit patches for things like jewelry appraisal and "gardening with glamour." Naturally, the evil council leader declares all of these patches invalid when she finds out about it. | |
