Please see the following attachments below for more information on the Merit Badge Program including the following:
Merit Badge Counselors https://media.trooptrack.com/uploads/attachment/attachment_file/304059/MB_Counselors_6-19.pdf The Advancements Chair has the list of all the adults in Troop 29 who are MB counselors and what they are approved to sign for. Troop 29 merit badge counselors are also listed in the Troop 29 Troop directory. If the Scout is interested in a MB that isn't covered by one of our counselors, then the Advancement Chair can provide a council-wide list of available counselors. When the Scout arrives for the MB meeting, they should be prepared to demonstrate that they have completed the requirements. The MB counselor may give some guidance or help the Scout expand their understanding, but the Scout should come prepared. The MB counselor signs off each of the requirements for the badge on the blue card. When all of the requirements are met, the MB counselor signs off and the Scout brings it to the Scoutmaster for final signature. The blue card then goes to the Committee Advancement Chair so they can record the badge in the official Boy Scout records and purchase the badge for award at the next Court of Honor. See the Merit Badge link on the left for more information about the process, including the requirements for adult MB counselors. |
