Building submarines is more than just another job — it’s an opportunity to create powerful underwater vessels that push the boundaries of technology and exploration. Blending craftsmanship, engineering, and innovation, this field offers you a chance to be part of something bigger than yourself.

The path to a future in submarine manufacturing can begin today, right where you are. Working towards merit badges in Electricity, Engineering, Welding, or Robotics gives you the foundational skills needed to dive deeper into this exciting industry.  
 
Each badge earned brings you closer to understanding the technologies and techniques that help build these incredible giants.

Electricity: Electricity is a vital component in powering submarines and ensuring their systems operate smoothly beneath the ocean’s surface. The Electricity Merit Badge offers Scouts the chance to learn essential electrical skills, like reading an electric meter, that are foundational to understanding how power systems work on complex machines like submarines.

Engineering: Engineers are the architects of the incredible technology that brings submarines to life, from structural design to advanced propulsion systems. Through the Engineering Merit Badge, Scouts can explore how engineers in fields such as mechanical, electrical, and marine engineering contribute to the creation of submarines, transforming ideas into vessels capable of exploring the depths of our oceans.

Welding: Welding is essential in submarine manufacturing, where precision and durability are critical to assembling a vessel that must withstand immense underwater pressure. The Welding Merit Badge introduces Scouts to the skills needed for this important trade, showing how mastering welding can open doors to exciting careers in building submarines and other high-stakes applications. 
 
Robotics: Robotics technology is integral to modern submarines, from automated systems that enhance navigation to remotely operated vehicles that assist in underwater exploration. The Robotics Merit Badge allows Scouts to learn about and build their own robots, providing a glimpse into how robotics are used to perform complex tasks that help submarines operate effectively in challenging environments.
