Merit Badges for Eagle Timeline An example timeline of merit badges to reach the 21 required for Eagle. E#1-E#7 are elective merit badges. The first year should be spent concentrating efforts on Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class advancement. Camping merit badge is started immediately on joining a troop so all nights of camping with the troop can be counted. This is NOT an expectation of scouts. It is only an example of how a scout could complete Eagle merit badge requirements. 5th Grade 6th Grade 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade
