Badges(Urgent)

It has recently occurred to me that a few merit badges requirements are slightly out of date. However, since the new year is approaching, and the new requirements will be coming soon, I will not be updating until then. Here is a list with links to the current requirements. These PDFs are linked from the official BSA website.
