Citizenship in the Nation Merit Badge
  Citizenship in the Nation is one of the required merit badges for Boy Scouts on their way to earning the rank of Eagle. As a member of Congress, I answer letters from Boy Scouts earning their merit badge. As a family, we have been actively involved with the Boy Scouts for many years.
This page includes some of the materials I use to teach citizenship. It’s specific to the Boy Scout program, but the Boy Scout materials are a good resource for anyone teaching citizenship. You can purchase Citizenship in the Nation Merit Badge Pamphlets at the Boy Scout office in Albuquerque or by mail at 1-800-323-0732.
