Chess (Boy Scout Merit Badge) White Coffee Mug

The "Chess" Boy Scout Merit Badge is an achievement granted by the Boy Scouts of America for demonstrating proficiency in the game of chess and knowledge about its history, strategy, and culture. To earn this badge, a scout must complete various requirements such as giving a brief history of chess, explaining the rules and basic strategies, solving chess puzzles or problems, and playing at least one rated game against an opponent. The aim is to instill in scouts a deeper appreciation for chess as a mental challenge and intellectual pastime while fostering discipline, creativity, and sportsmanship.
