Do you need to pay for them? I thought you "earn" them like it is shown in the movies?!

I mean, you can technically buy them. It just wouldn't count for anything since a scout leader still has to sign off on whether or not the scout earned the badge.

You don’t pay for the badge directly. You do pay for your BSA membership, and you may have materials you need to purchase – some materials you can get for free from some retailers.

You probably earn the priviledge to purchase them

You probably wear your clothes inside out and walk everywhere on your hands.

Our troop bought in bulk them then handed them out to the scouts who earned them, there were no micro transactions involved.
