Below is a list of counselors in the Troop, the badges they cover, and their e-mail.  If you are interested in working on a badge you (THE SCOUT) should contact the counselor to make sure they are going to be at the meeting.  Do not assume that the counselor will be there.  You also MUST read the Merit Badge book before coming to the meeting.  You should also print out the Merit Bad Worksheet to aid in your preparation, but it is not a substitute for reading the book.
