      You don’t pay for the badge directly. You do pay for your BSA membership, and you may have materials you need to purchase – some materials you can get for free from some retailers.

      I mean, you can technically buy them. It just wouldn’t count for anything since a scout leader still has to sign off on whether or not the scout earned the badge.

        Our troop bought in bulk them then handed them out to the scouts who earned them, there were no micro transactions involved.
