We invite you to go boldly where no troop has gone before! Space Jam 21 is a worldwide, live, high-tech merit badge mission on Zoom. This year every Scout joins a crew on a mission to Saturn to explore its moons.

Each Crew has a mission that incorporates three merit badges that build on each other. Scouts can also choose to complete an optional fourth Wildcard badge. The Vanguard Crew is a little different - Scouts in this crew can pick up to four of their own merit badges.

Scouts prepare before the event by completing assigned prerequisites & training. Some Crews and badges may also have additional pre-event live sessions to help everyone successfully complete some of their prerequisites. On August 7, 2027, Scouts join live classes with their crew. Everyone has three weeks to finish completing their requirements after the main event.
