Who? Registered Scouts who have attained the rank of 2nd Class and higher and their leaders are invited to attend. All units must be under the supervision of at least two adult leaders over the age of 21 at all times during the event. Any registrations not in compliance with this requirement will be returned
What? Scouting volunteers will staff the merit badge classes. These specially approved counselors will provide training and facilitate advancement on merit badges using the requirements and standards offered by the Boy Scouts of America in their most recent revision.
A Boy Scout is prepared. Each Scout will be responsible for the research required for each merit badge they wish to take (including alternates, just in case, at www.scouting.org). All Scouts are responsible for their own merit badge blue card, that includes the requirements compledge during merit badge college that will need to be turned in to their scoutmaster.. Being prepared means the scout attends the class and participates fully with a good Scout attitude. Credit can only be awarded for work completed in class and any additional materials, if they provide them to the counselor on that day. Badge work can be completed with a qualified District counselor after the event, if necessary. Please instruct scouts and leaders to wear Class A uniform for identification purposes at the event. We will make every attempt to manage the popularity of these badges, but there is no guarantee that scouts will get into their first choice. Spaces are limited and classes close when filled. We appreciate your understanding and support of this policy.
