CODE OF CONDUCT: The Scout Oath, the Law, and the Outdoor Code shall be the code of the Merit Badge Day. A Scout whose conduct is not consistent with the code will be directed to leave the church grounds immediately. Adequate supervision must be provided by units. Discipline is the responsibility of the Scoutmaster or other assigned leaders in charge of the troop.
TRANSPORTATION: The troop Leaders must coordinate arrival and departure time for transportation. Please advise your parents NOT to drop or pick up scouts from the church. Scouts should not be dropped off by parents at a later time.
CLEAN UP: A Scout is clean. All garbage must be properly disposed into designated containers or carried out.
SECURITY: Because the public has access to the church, units will need to exercise their own vigilance. Report any incidents to the event organizers.
BLUE CARDS / Merit Badge Books
All Scouts must bring to class the following:
Blue Card SIGNED by their Scoutmaster (one per each Merit Badge)
Merit Badge booklet Merit Badge worksheet (http://usscouts.org/mb/framesindex.html)
Any pre-requisite work should be completed prior to attending the class. Failure to do so may limit the Scout's ability to complete the badge on the day of the event.
The Blue Card will be updated with tasks completed in class and returned to Scout BEFORE they depart the classroom. It is the responsibility of the Scout to request and obtain his Blue Card.
PREREQUISITES: The Merit Badge Counselor will give credit for completed requirements ONLY. The Scout should complete all other requirements not covered in class, at his own pace and with his own troop counselors. Class work will be followed by individual Scout’s projects and his ability to fulfill all requirements.
SCOUT PREPARATION Many classes have pre-requisites which must be done if you wish to complete the badge during class. Some classes also have age and/or rank requirements. Unless indicated otherwise, all other requirements for the Merit Badge should be covered in class. For ALL classes, Scouts are required to READ and BRING the Merit Badge pamphlet. Also, Scouts are required to BRING a SIGNED Blue Card from the Scoutmaster.
CHECK IN: Check in and assembly will be inside the entry of the church.
