In a Merit Badge Event on Pogo, your goal is to earn a Merit badge each week by completing either three free event challenges or one premium Mix‑n‑Match challenge. If you collect all three Merit badges during the event, you’ll unlock the bonus Super Scout badge.
Each week gives you a choice: complete the free challenges, purchase the premium challenge, or do both for extra badges and Pogis. All challenges must be completed before the event timer expires.
As with all Pogo events, the Merit Badge Event is time‑limited. The event page will show how much time you have left to finish your weekly challenges and earn your badges.
If you do not complete your Merit badge challenges before the event ends, you won’t be able to collect the weekly badge or the final Super Scout reward.
How Merit Badge Events Work
- Each week offers three free event challenges and one premium Mix‑n‑Match challenge.
- You can complete the three free challenges, the premium challenge, or both.
- Finishing the weekly requirement earns you that week’s Merit badge.
- Collect all three Merit badges to unlock the bonus Super Scout badge.
- All challenges must be completed before the event timer expires.
- Unfinished challenges and rewards become unavailable once the event ends.
Tips & Tricks
- You don’t need to complete all challenges at once – spread them out through the week.
- Create a simple plan for which challenges you’ll finish first to avoid rushing at the end.
- Pair Merit challenges with weekly, personal, or Mix‑n‑Match badges in the same game.
- Premium challenges can help you finish faster if you’re short on time.
- Remember that Pogo events are meant to be fun – complete them at your own pace.
