- Boy Scout Shawn Goldsmith has earned all of the 121 merit badges the organization offers, ranging in subjects from basketry to nuclear science. Maggie Rodriguez reports on this rare feat.
And I thought I did great at 45 merit badges. This guy is awesome.
You did do great. But this dude is on a whole other level.
Low key I think I’m doing good with 36
@@ilike8302 I don't even remember how many I got...wanna say 15-20 hahah
Her:*goes in to look for badges...
Him:*tries to hand shake her
Haw! Haw! At first I thought this was an episode of The Onion
It looked more like a defensive posture...hahah
just like a true boy scout
Ok, first of all this guy not only earned every merit badge availed in the BSA he also earned the BSA's highest rank. Eagle Scout. This guy will be sought after by a lot of companies/work places. He will go VERY far in life. So before you say "get a life" keep in mine that he'll have more of a life than most people.
*Mind
Being a Eagle Scout is easier than getting all the merit badges
He’ll never get the “I got pussy” patch.
he already had more of a life them most people including me. All the things he did to earn those badges is stuff many people will never get to do.

Damn that is very impressive, this is something that he could use for anything, school, life, job applications, and is a great experience in life, people who say get a life, this is a great way of life, he can become a great job, this obviously shows he is very good at different things
Top 5 invincible people with many powers
@ 0:18 when he thinks he is shaking hands xD
Can we get a rip in chat
Whether you agree with the conduct of the BSA or not, I simply cannot see this man as a bad person. He achieved something that was important to him. He proved to his family, who were generations of scouts, that he could do what was considered impossible in their eyes. To many this may seem a small victory, but to him it's something entirely different. Respect.
Congratulations. Thanks for posting this. So proud you could stay focused to do this.
I'm a life scout 16 years old, I started 4 years ago I got 69 currently and working at 6 more for summer camp I got all my eagle done but I want to get all the badges but I know I can't 😔😭😭
you need to earn more than 20 merit badges a year to get it all..
Diadem Diadem mhm got more down since that comment now a distinguished eagle with golden palm
So you were 16 when you posted that comment. You are now 18 how'd it go? How many merit badges did you get it?
Ive been in scouts for like 4 or 6 years.i started at the lowest rank in cubscouts and im a first class scout,im in OA anf im a den chief. Im from troop 101bunkie luoisiana
life scout at 16 wow!
The most important badge he has is badge of virginity !
Unfounded assumption.
Congrats brother. My brother earned them all as well. I fell 13 short.i know you worked very hard.
Awesome job! I am a Webelos den leader and mom of a Webelo scout. You rock!
wow, he has a lot of family members
Good job to all you Scouts out there....121 merit badges is quite impressive....
J. Harris, Eagle Scout T34, Cape Coral Florida.
as a scout myself, my real question is who has the patience? like it’s great that he did it, but damn.
Now that's what I call devotion.
Whether you agree with scouts or not, this guy accomplished something amazing.
that is so sad, I wish he had grown up in a normal culture
When everyone is talking about how difficult it is to earn badges in boy scouts and like half the badges I earned in girl scouts were given to me just for showing up.
nice pun at the end
dedication at it's finest
WOW i have two of those 121 badges... :(
Salute!!
It took me two years to earn cooking
Holy smokes! My done has done 6 so far. People need to realize each merit badge has a multi page packet that must be completed, demonstrate step by step the skills required to do the activity, go before a council to have them approved. Each badge is a very involved process.
Wow, this guy speaks with such poise and calmness on TV. ALOT better than I would have when I was a teenager! I would have stuttered and stumbled all over the place.
My brothers are Eagle Scouts,I’m 11, I will be a Eagle Scout some day c:
12
Do it! And then go into the Military and become a ***** star General!

Oh I taught you said ass a** lol
My father's name was Jack Roger, so you are in good company. I know your family is looking forward to the day of your Eagle.
way to go. 121 merit badges is pretty incredible.
Better protect your girl before he collect your girl
Man we need more stories like this. This scout deserves more than 3 minutes!
This year there are coming out with 4 merit badges just for 2010! In addition there are 4 new merit badges coming out for ever and ever!
That is very impressive such a humble and courages teen...seems so honorable and humble truly a great example of how a american citizen should be...i want all my kids to be in the boy and girl scouts i want them to learn and become responsible since young age...
as a old eagle scout, the idea behind the merit badge system was to pick a badge and actually learn from it. its impossible to aquire 137 merit badges.
I fail to see why so many people are trolling this guy. This was an incredible feat, and one well worth congratulating.
No, I do not, only because I've never heard of a bull-point pen, but, I do know how to give a cricothyroidotomy with a BALL-point pen, I am certified as a live tissue trainer as well as a combat life saver. Next question....
I have around 42 badges I'm looking to get around 70. I will be getting eagle very soon and I will have enough time for 4 eagle palms. Hopefully that will help with the goal of 70. Good luck to other scouts out there. And great job with the achievement of getting all merit badges. Awesome.
I had 63 merit badges... I had the second most in my council.. I'm aged out now, but I'm still a triple silver palm Eagle Scout , and I received my Order of the Arrow Vigil Honor back in Nov.
Amazing story; not just of this young man's accomplishment but of his family's bonding as well.
1. I did not get both of those wrong. They are actually correct, according to my handbook. I knew them by heart as well.
2. I have been in scouts all my life. I am 17, and started cub scouting at 7. When I hit the age of 11, I was invited to troop 22, Bulldog patrol, in which I met many older scouts that led the way. When I turned 12, The older scouts all earned Eagle, and moved on. I was voted SPL and have been leading my troop since, even when I moved away. I organize their events back home.
my friend has 5 more to go!
can everyone stop bullying him and act more like a Scout
Not bullying, just laughing. Look at that belt! BSA is a joke and Hollywood is taking advantage of that. Americans make us look like clowns. You guys are being way to autistic about these badges.
What the comments fail to mention is that this guy also completed NYLT. As an Eagle with 3 palms who also completed NYLT I know that's a huge deal. About 2 scouts every year get all the merit badges. I know someone who was a counselor at Resolute last year who now has all of them.
good job
@TheScarletcrusader it's a common scout activity
This is how i protect my virginity!
i just joind boy scouts today:D
It’s been 9 years. How’d it go?
You know there's a new one, the Chess merit badge. xD
His final badge was the "40-year-old virgin" badge.
Congrats from a 1969 Eagle. Didn't even have that many badges when I got my Eagle. Maybe half. lol Way to go.
He proably DID something to get him all those badges
Wow this is very impressive I’m a tenderfoot and I only have one badge so far
WOW very impressive. This brings back great memories. LIke 331
The Same thing happened in my scout group I earnt my chief when I was 11 apparently you have to be 14 to 15
He doesn't have kayaking, chess, or robotics...
And then there's me with 10 merit badges and 30 partials
Dude congrats! You are the first scout that I've known with all the merit badges that I respect. Most of them just see it as a milestone to hold over everyone elses heads. You seem like you have truly understood what it's all about. I love your NYLT reference btw! Are you by chance in the OA?
EVERYONE STOP TEASING THIS KID HE MADE A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT A LOT OF THE MERIT BADGES R HARD TO GET SO STOP TEASING HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
people are not being awfull , he needs to live a life , like the every day lads do it so much better , he is young he has looks ,don't wast it,
No lol
+jjrod33 ,,,,his dad was an eagle scout,WOW ,,,,,give him the congressional medal,,,, ,,,,get a bloody life ,,
I bet the scout master gave him his flesh eagle lol
Of course, BSA regs say you can only wear one sash no matter how many merit badges you have. I guess he's the reason they have that reg now.
What can you say? A guy this bright deserves a full-ride academic scholarship at an Ivy League.
How quickly would he be attacked walking down the street in public?
I'd estimate ~5 or 10 minutes.
I would like my son to get all the merit badges offered and he needs to earn more than 20 merit badges every year...
Push him harder and make sure he does not have any fun.
what about the 3 gold rim 2010 ones
amazing
Quite an achievement; kid'll go far.
@unphazed123 yeah, like the other person said, you can join a Venture Crew up until you are 21. However you can be an adult leader in a boy scout troop starting at age 18. I was in scouts as a kid and I am 26 now and I am now an adult leader. It still is just as fun.
i personally think that earning every single merit badge is kind of a silly goal, i dont believe thats the point of merit badges
MrWilliamson9411 It is a silly goal, but it's still a goal none the less. Got to give him props for the dedication though
iiiii totally thought this was an onion video for a good minute....
damn. that's impressive
To all the people saying he has to "get a life" or "get laid." Did you know that 70% of military academy graduates are Eagle Scouts? And he will have a better life than all of you trolls. Jobs actually accept Eagle scouts more than anybody. Boy Scouts is THE BEST form of leadership in the world. All the merit badges he earned are what we do EVERY day. Careers. Recreation. Fun. Sports. Shooting. Etc. So he will have a better future than you trolls.
P.S. I am an Eagle scout too.
Great job,l'm A first class scout.What you've done is not easy at all ,well done.
Lots of merit badges.Go boy
now to earn the getting laid patch
Booger Eater with the girls joining it’s easier to get it.
Available*, mind*
This guy wakes up in the morning and he pisses excellence
Kayaking isn't a merit badge, and chess and robotics are fairly new, this video is from '09, which is before they were created. Therefore he technically has all of them.
THE GUY FROM HEAVY RAIN!!!!!!!
totally agree, I have 38 badges and I'm 12
Its a lot of accomplishments. He interviews himself almost
Highly decorated, maybe the most decorated I've ever seen
Mine is only 62. And he has 121 that so hard to get bro
Go BSA !!!
this guy. he's my hero.
well hes like 46, about time he earns them all.
@BlueAx
If there is, he'll have it for a while X_X
kayaking just became a merit badge
when you insult this kid you insult me and millions of others. if you want to say something to my face im at troop 76
william redfern I was a Boy Scout lmao fuck off
Ryan Favinger by any chance have you ever been to Yawgoog
What in the world is that insignia under his Friends of Scouting patch on his left side? Looks very similar to the U.S. Cavalry insignia. I've never seen anything like that in the scouting program.
I believe it's his training badge which helps him with leadership, I really don't know just guessing
Nobody tell this guy about the new chess merit badge...
Good gosh I thought earning 33 merit badges plus Eagle Scout award was good enough
This dude got deep in his family history. Also, he looks like he's 30. I'll give credit where it's so though, this isn't easy and he did it.
Bryce Blacklabel you forgot friendly. :)
i am still on my first year of scouting. so far I am spl of the younger patrol, have 1 more req. for 1st class, and have 30 merit badges. thumbs me up if u think im off to a good start in scouting
I mean it's good to be involved with Scouts and do merit badges but the point is to guide you in different interest areas and possibly help in choosing a career, although earning every merit badge is impressive, it defeats the purpose of what the merit badges are all about.
brian fidel Some people's interest is in setting high goals for themselves. I've known several different people who like to always be busy, always finding a way to challenge themselves no matter what they are doing. Thinking back, one of the highlights of my scouting years has to be of seeing some scouts with ambition, and some who just enjoyed being in a club....sometimes it was encouraged to be like the others, but all were welcome.
"If you want justice, work for chastity." -Pope John Paul II
Chastity is one of the greatest virtues we still have.
LOL Impressive as it is, did you have to getEVERY single one? The idea is to give scouts a choice of an AREA of interest and pursue those. Your grizzled outdoorsmen will go for those badges and your craftsmen, likewise, and there are plenty that fit into each "genre", so to speak. The Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal etc. but not Perfect. The lack of perfection is what we want to teach in scouting, and how to do the very best you can at everything. Merit Badges are only one point of the Scouting Method.
To the geek who said :"get a life": I'd have him overindulge in Merit Badges any day rather than methamphetamine. Go turn off your console game and - get a life.
well said.
@Depaya i just got back from nylt it was AWESOME
Btw, its
A scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, courteus, kind, obediant, cheerfull, thrifty, brave,
clean, and reverant.
And the scout oath is
On my honor i will do my best to do my duty to god and my country, to obey the scout law to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
you forgot friendly
Trustworthy
Loyal

Friendly

I never got all of them. I was one away to getting an Eagle Bronze Palm.
