"Boy Scouting provides a series of surmountable obstacles and steps in overcoming them through the advancement method. The Boy Scout plans his advancement and progresses at his own pace as he meets each challenge. The Boy Scout is rewarded for each achievement, which helps him gain self-confidence. The steps in the advancement system help a Boy Scout grow in self-reliance and in the ability to help others." - BSA National Council

Be sure to visit MeritBadge.com or the US Scout Service Project for everything you ever wanted to know about rank advancement and merit badges, including resources to help you complete the requirements.  Please note that MeritBadge.com has gotten somewhat out of date, and some requirements have changed.  Your official source for advancement requirements should always be the US Scouting Service Project.  MeritBadge.com is still a good resource for information related to the merit badge subject areas.
