Citizenship in the World - Secret Agent

Citizenship in the World merit badge: Secret Agent Edition

Typically, the eagle-required Citizenship in the World merit badge is considered dull and boring by Scouts (and merit badge counselors). This project will bring the merit badge to life by intertwining the lesson material into an engaging spy mystery!

Delivered in an interactive story format, this lesson plan unfolds like a spy movie, with the Scouts as the lead characters! Scouts participate in a series of secret agent missions, making decisions along the way that impact what clues they receive, and determine their ability to stop a plot that threatens the United Nations and the fate of the world!

As the merit badge counselor, you'll use our hand-outs and themed materials to keep the action (and the instruction) moving along. Scouts will record what they learn in a Secret Agent dossier, which also serves as a checklist for the merit badge requirements.
