Best Answer

The "Merit Badge" in the Revolutionary War was a purple cloth in the shape of a heart, with white piping around the outside, with "MERIT" in white stitched in the middle. General George Washington awarded only three of these as a personal award to three Continental Soldiers for the captue of Major Andre, a British spy. It disappeared after the war, but was resurrected in the early 1930's by Army Chief of Staff Douglas MacArthur in it's present form.

Do you have to open a merit badge to work on it?

I'm not sure what you mean by "open". You should have your Scoutmaster's permission to start on a merit badge. Usually he signs a "blue card" which is the record of your merit badge progress. This is to ensure that you have any prerequisites that are required and that you are going to a registered merit badge counselor. You should make contact with your merit badge counselor prior to starting the merit badge to ensure you are credited for your work.
