If you are having trouble registering scouts, carefully read the information on the help tab.
If you send an email that does not include the information we need to help you, it wastes time and will get promptly deleted.
Test drive the new site (in progress) at New Meritbadge.Info.Leave comments at our Facebook page.

Notice!!! Meritbadge.Info will switch to the new site with BSA validation Friday morning March 13th.

If you wish to start using this site today, click here to launch meritbadge.info/mbn2

Adults must enter their BSA Number, DOB, First and Last name as it appears on their BSA ID card. We will query BSA and get back an answer. At this point one of three things can happen:
1) Your registration is verified - you can continue using Meritbadge.info normally
2) You are not registered or your registration has lapsed - your prior rights are revoked and you get the read-only screens that you see before your login
3) You are registered but your YPT has expired - your prior rights are revoked and you get the read-only screens that you see before your login

You have had at least two months to get yourself registered and complete YPT training. If you feel your validation is not working, send us an email with the four data items listed and we will validate your entry.

We have no control over what is on file at BSA. If everything matches your BSA ID card, there should be no issues. If not, your validation will fail.

Why are we doing this?
1. To provide higher security and validation of all adult users.
2. To clean up the mess we've accumulated via 15 years of poor user data entry.  

How will we do this? 

What should you do? 
Login to https://my.scouting.org/ and copy your BSA ID Number then update your profile on Meritbadge.info.  Let others in your unit know they should do the same.  We are giving you 2.5 months advanced notice to make this work.

Description

Troop 347 from Port Republic, MD is hosting a Merit Badge Day at the College of Southern Maryland in Prince Frederick.



Most merit badges offered require 3.25 hours of class time to complete requirements and check completion of prerequisites. Each merit badge will last one session (with the exception of Emergency Preparedness and First Aid which are all day and Crime Prevention/Fingerprinting and Geneaolgy/Scholarship which are combined in one session) so the scouts may register for a morning badge and an afternoon badge.



The cost for the program is $20/day. A pizza lunch will be included for the scouts. Adult lunches can be purchased for $5.00/each. Please notify the event coordinators at registration desk if you would like to purchase a lunch.



 



All participants must be pre-registered. NO WALK-INS WILL BE ALLOWED.



SCHEDULE:



8:00am Registration begins



8:15am-8:30am Opening flag & announcements



8:30am-11:45am Morning session



11:45am-12:30pm Lunch



12:30-3:45pm Afternoon session



3:45pm-4:00pm Close 



All participants must come prepared. SCOUTS MUST BRING A SIGNED BLUE CARD!!! Please read your merit badge book and worksheets and bring it with you. Prerequisites should be completed to the extent possible. Any requirements that instruct you to "BRING", "COLLECT", "WRITE" OR "DISCUSS" should be brought with you neatly prepared and proofread for accuracy. Completion of merit badges is NOT GUARANTEED. Scouts that are not fully prepared may not complete the badge but can receive partial credit on blue cards for requirements that are completed.



Scouts will need a signed BLUE CARD for EVERY merit badge being taken that day!! If a scout is signed up for Fingerprinting/Crime Prevention class or the Scholarship/Genealogy class he will need TWO BLUE CARDS for the one class session!



UNIFORM: All scouts must wear Class A uniform.



MATERIALS NEEDED:




  • Notebook and pencil or pen

  • Merit badge blue cards signed by your Scoutmaster with your name, address and Troop number 

  • ALL prerequisite items for each class

  • Merit badge book and worksheets for each course you are taking

  • Scout spirit!



ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:



Classes are limited in size to insure quality instruction. Early registration will avoid conflicts in scheduling. Please contact Lynn Farnsley at lynnfarnsley@yahoo.com if you have any difficulties with registration.



For the safety and security of participants, scouts are not permitted to leave the facility during the day. All activities are conducted in accordance with BSA Youth Protection Guidelines. It is our intent to create an environment where the scouts have an opportunity to continue their advancement program and earn merit badges that may not be readily available elsewhere. It is NOT our intention to create a so-called "merit badge factory" that produces merit badges with minimal work required from the scouts. Scouts who come with that expectation will be disappointed at the end of the day. Merit badge courses are planned and presented by qualified adult counselors who are willing to take the time to share their knowledge with the scouts.
