I mean.. not really? I get the meme but there are a ton of merit badges you can do sitting in your room. I was a scout 15-20 years ago, I remember going through my handbook and doing all of the badges I was able to without going anywhere or buying anything in one weekend and asking my leader for like 15 badges the next day.
Though I may have to correct myself, I think these were belt loops I was earning at this point, I don't remember the difference (I think the fancy sash comes a little later, at which point.. maybe my comment was unnecessary.)
Belt loops would have been for Cub Scouts. Merit badges are for Boy Scouts. There's definitely plenty you can do at home for both, but with merit badges you need a merit badge counselor, who may or may not be your leader
