If you send an email that does not include the information we need to help you, it wastes time and will get promptly deleted.
Test drive the new site (in progress) at New Meritbadge.Info.Leave comments at our Facebook page.

Notice!!! Meritbadge.Info will switch to the new site with BSA validation Friday morning March 13th.

If you wish to start using this site today, click here to launch meritbadge.info/mbn2

Adults must enter their BSA Number, DOB, First and Last name as it appears on their BSA ID card. We will query BSA and get back an answer. At this point one of three things can happen:
1) Your registration is verified - you can continue using Meritbadge.info normally
2) You are not registered or your registration has lapsed - your prior rights are revoked and you get the read-only screens that you see before your login
3) You are registered but your YPT has expired - your prior rights are revoked and you get the read-only screens that you see before your login

You have had at least two months to get yourself registered and complete YPT training. If you feel your validation is not working, send us an email with the four data items listed and we will validate your entry.

We have no control over what is on file at BSA. If everything matches your BSA ID card, there should be no issues. If not, your validation will fail.

Why are we doing this?
1. To provide higher security and validation of all adult users.
2. To clean up the mess we've accumulated via 15 years of poor user data entry.  

How will we do this? 

What should you do? 
Login to https://my.scouting.org/ and copy your BSA ID Number then update your profile on Meritbadge.info.  Let others in your unit know they should do the same.  We are giving you 2.5 months advanced notice to make this work.

Troop 7369 is looking forward to hosting our 17th Semi-Annual Merit Badge Univsersity (MBU) on December 14th. We welcome all scouts that would like to participate. We will be offering a variety of merit badges that range from recreational to academic to those that will aide the boys on their paths to becoming Eagle Scouts. In addition, they will have the opportunity make new friends and develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.  Please refer to the registration packet for the full list of pre-requisites that apply to each merit badge.

Description
Merit Badge University will take place from 7:30am - 5:00pm.  There are a variety of merit badges to choose from across 3 sessions (AM, PM, or All Day).  All participating scouts must complete a permission slip along with a MBU registration and pay the registration fee along with any additional materials/lab fees for their selected merit badges.  Scouts are expected to read the Merit Badge Book before MBU, bring their merit badge worksheet and merit badge blue card signed by their Scout Master to MBU.


Please complete the consent document and email with your proof of payment to Troop7369MBU@gmail.com. The consent form is in the registration packet that can be downloaded by clicking on the following link: https://www.troop7369.org/system/files/Troop7369RegistrationPacketDec2019-0.pdf

Policies


General

A Scout must BE PREPARED. It is the responsibility of the Scout to complete all requirements and pre-requisites for any merit badge he chooses to work on. The counselor is only there to provide assistance and additional information to the Scout concerning that merit badge.

 

Pre-Requisites

All Scouts are expected to have completed the pre-requisite requirements on their own prior to attending the merit badge class. If a scout has not completed the pre-requisites then they will not be able to receive full credit on the day of the event and will be responsible to complete them at a later date.  NONE OF THE INFORMATION SHOULD BE TOTALLY NEW. Scouts are expected to have read the merit badge booklet and bring a printed copy of the merit badge worksheet to class for note taking and showing pre-requisite work, as needed.

 

Tardiness is not permitted. Scouts arriving more than 15 minutes late will not be allowed to enter the classroom. No refunds will be issued for Scouts who do not attend class due to tardiness.

 

Scouts are expected to participate in all class discussions. Scouts should ask questions, and be ready to answer questions when asked. We reserve the right to call on any Scout to answer questions about the material, even if he does not volunteer.

 

Should the Scout not do the work to complete a requirement for the merit badge, it is his responsibility to complete it before it will be signed off on by the counselor. While much of the required material is presented during the workshops, that does not count as the Scout having completed it.

 

Scouts wishing to register for the First Aid merit badge workshop (when offered) must have current knowledge of all first aid requirements for Tenderfoot Rank, Second Class Rank, and First Class Rank. SORRY NO EXCEPTIONS.

 

Blue cards

In order to receive credit for a merit badge, students must bring their blue card to all classes and must have completed all requirements. The blue card must be filled out completely by the Scout.  Blue cards must be signed by the Scoutmaster of the Scout's troop before counselors will sign off on it.
