Note Troop 103 does not use a neckerchief. Troop 103 will provide the
Patrol

A very useful link regarding Advancement requirements (i.e., progress to
Tenderfoot / 2nd Class / 1st class / etc... ranks) and Merit Badge requirements

http://www.meritbadge.com/.
This site has many useful links regarding the individual Merit Badges.
Merit
Badges are required for advancements beyond 1st class, with particular emphasis
on the "Eagle required" merit badges. New scouts, if active, generally hit
First Class rank at about a year to 18 months.
