The Boy Scouts of America is an organization that aims to mold young individuals into responsible citizens through various activities such as outdoor adventures, leadership training, and community service. The organization has an extensive system of patches that represents the scouts' achievements and accomplishments in various aspects of scouting. The infographic by the team at Wizard Pins, which is the Ultimate Guide to Boy Scouts of America patches and what they mean, gives an overview of the various patches available and their meanings. The merit badge patches represent a specific skill or knowledge that a scout has demonstrated proficiency in, while the rank patches indicate the scout's level of achievement within the organization. The Eagle Scout patch is one of the most prestigious patches in scouting, earned by less than 5% of scouts, representing the highest rank achievable within the organization. The patch features an eagle, symbolizing strength, leadership, and freedom.
