Fallout 76 – Scout Central

Welcome to the ever-expanding page for Pioneer Scouting in Fallout 76. We want you to have an amazing backpack (we have guides for all of the Tadpole merit badges finished), and get some cool other side bonuses along the way. While we’re dedicated to making this a complete guide to everything you need to know, we certainly wouldn’t turn down a helping hand (even if it’s just cool in-game pictures to liven up the articles). And, in lieu of direct help, if there’s any specific content or guides you’d like us to put at the top of our list, let us know!

If you haven’t started the Pioneer Scout quests, either pick up the free poster from the atom shop, and put it in your camp, or check out the poster at a train station or someone else’s camp. Make your way to Camp Lewis, not too far from Grafton Dam in the Toxic Valley. You’ll need to do two little mini quests (which become easily repeatable dailies), three merit badges (Archer, Athlete, and Hunter are the three easiest), and then revive another player. The Scorchbeast Queen fight and the Encrypted event are your best bets if you’re playing solo, or, if you’re on Xbox, there’s a good chance one of us can help out.

One of the main parts to the scouting content is the merit badge grind. To that end, we’re making articles and videos to help guide you through each of the merit badges, and we just created a full searchable and sortable spreadsheet with all of the merit badge requirements. Just be aware that it’s a work in progress, and also that if you haven’t advanced to the possum rank, doing the associated requirements for those merit badges won’t count, so get cracking on those Tadpole badges!
