Electricity Merit Badge

Electricity is a powerful and fascinating force of nature. As early as 600 BC, observers of the physical world suspected that electricity existed but did not have a name for it. In fact, real progress in unraveling the mystery of electricity has come only within the last 250 years.
​

• The Electricity merit badge was one of the original 57 merit badges issued by the Boy Scouts of America in 1911. It replaced the 1910 Electrician "Badge of Merit".
