  • In addition to Merit Badges, we will be going through equipment from this past weekend’s trip

  • Class B Uniforms

  • Bring your Handbooks

Merit Badges- 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.  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.

One final word on Merit Badges as this has become an issue.  The first part of each meeting is a Troop Mooting during which time some skill is being worked on.  After that, there are individual Patrol meetings.  No Merit Badges are to be worked on during that time.  Everyone needs to be involved in whatever activity the Troop and their Patrol is doing.  If you want to skip the game and work on a badge then, fine.  Or, as I suggest to everyone I work with on badges, make arrangement s to come to a meeting a little earlier of stay a little later.  You can always make arrangements with your counselor to work on badges outside of merit badge meetings, but that should not be during troop time.
