Winter 2026 Merit Badge: Personal Management

Posted on Jan 26 2026 - 11:17pm

Message:

Who needs Personal Management Merit Badge? This is an Eagle Required Merit Badge that requires 13-weeks of tracking a Scout's income and expenses. Scouts will present schedules and learn to prioritize their time. Scouts will learn about terms like stock, mutual funds, credit, risk, capital, tax implications, ROI, and so much more.

Personal Management is a merit badge best suited to Scouts (age 14 or older) who can show that they have an income from jobs or allowance or other sources. Please note, younger Scouts may not get as much from this experience. If you have questions about the criteria, please reach out to Dr. Tony Giamis at amgiamis@gmail.com.

Possibly the most important Merit Badge that a Scout can take. Sign-up to be on the course mailing list.

Requirements: https://www.scouting.org/merit-badges/personal-management/

Thursdays: February 19, March 5, and March 12 (all three dates required). All Classes at First Presbyterian Church (Room 207) in Libertyville from 7:00 - 8:15 pm.

Course Closure: Since this Merit Badge requires 13-weeks of tracking, completion of the work will require individual sessions to review budget variance and lessons learned. Scouts may schedule these via e-mail that must include a parent.

Missing a class date may be made up at the discretion of the instructor.
