Pick a merit badge you are interested in. Here is the entire list of merit badges.
Let the Scoutmaster know what merit badge you want to work on and ask for a Blue Card.
The Scoutmaster will ask if you have a merit badge counselor. If you don't have a counselor the Scoutmaster will provide a list of name. You will need to contact the counselor.
Once you have a counselor start working on the merit badge requirements.
After the counselor signs off the requirements on the Blue Card return the Blue Card to the Scoutmaster or Advancement Chair.
You can work on a merit badge by yourself or sign up with a merit badge clinics offered through various organizations. You always need to get a Blue Card before starting to work on a merit badge.
Pro-tip: Go to summer camp for three summers in a row and you will earn almost all of your merit badges for Eagle.
