Session 2 - Saturday, October 14th, 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
The Merit Badges require only ONE SESSION each, multiple sessions are offered on a few badges.
Not all badges can be completed during the sessions (i.e. Family Life, Citizenship badges, Communications, etc.). The class is designed to assist the Scout in accomplishing all requirements that can possibly be completed in a classroom setting. This event will go a long way to prepare the Scout to complete the merit badge. Some counselors have provided information on pre-work that can be done prior to the event so that youth may complete the merit badge that day if they so desire.
Some badges may have a cost associated with it, due to materials that must be used by the Scout. If a cost is necessary, it will be listed with the Merit Badge being offered. Each Scout must bring the money with them, or the appropriate supplies on their own.
Please make sure that each boy brings a blue card for each merit badge class they are signed up for and come with your Merit Badge Worksheet. ( meritbadge.org )Arrival Time: 8:30am for flag ceremony and instruction
Dress Code: Class A or B uniform is expected!
LUNCH: Please have each scout bring their own lunch
