To get the Citizenship in the Community merit badge, you will need to organize interviews, school visits and held speeches and public presentations to your fellow students or boy scouts. In addition to this, you will also need to do 8 hours of community work. The most of the requirements for this merit badge can be done on the Government class in your High or Junior High school. This merit badge can be hard to get if you want to learn a lot from it and use your knowledge in later life. On the other hand, if you just want to get the Eagle ranking, you can easily finish all the requirements in three weeks.
