- All Scouts must bring to class the following: 

1. Blue Card SIGNED by their Scoutmaster (one per each Merit Badge)


2. Merit Badge booklet Merit Badge worksheet (http://usscouts.org/mb/framesindex.html)


3. Merit Badge book 


4. Any pre-requisite work 

The Blue Cards will be updated with tasks completed in class and returned to the Scouts 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. 



ADVANCEMENT RECORDS: 

After the merit badge event, if you have any questions about the Blue Cards, please visit your unit "Scout Registration" page and "Print Advancement Results" 

RULES FOR PARTICIPATION: 

1. Each unit must provide one adult. This will help us with crowd control, as well as insure quality of results within the classroom environment. 

2. Scouts must have prior approval from their Scoutmaster before attending. 

3. Scouts must behave in a Scout-like manner. Disruptive youth will be removed from the group and either spend the remainder of the day with their Scoutmaster or be picked up by their parent/guardian. 

4. There will be NO littering, defacing  or destruction of any structure while on the premises.



Note: The Unit adults are responsible for the scouts who attend. 



RIGHT TO LIMIT OR CANCEL:

The Merit Badge Clinic will reserve the right to limit or cancel any class. Merit Badges to be offered are subject to change based on MB Counselor availability and class minimums. NO WALK-INS will be allowed. Registration by Troop is REQUIRED. Open and ending enrollment will be limited to the dates above indicated. 



FIRST COME FIRST SERVE:

Scouts are admitted to classes on a first come, first served basis via the online registration system. There is no waiting list for any of the merit badges classes. Should you encounter booked classes, please monitor this website in case seats become available.



EXPECTATION: 

Scouts are strongly encouraged to read the Merit Badge Booklet and finish all pre-requisites before attending the Merit Badge Clinic, as they will be discussing these topics during the class.

UNIFORM: 

The Full B.S.A. class A uniform is the official uniform for the day.



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 grounds immediately. Adequate supervision must be provided by each participating unit. 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. Troops need to make certain that they have adequate transportation for their Scouts. Please advise your parents NOT to drop or pick up scouts. ALL transportation TO and FROM The Merit Badge Clinic must be arranged within your troop. Encourage everyone to carpool. Troops may not leave Scouts by themselves to be picked up by parents at a later time. We will not render sitting services.



CLEAN UP: 

The Scout is clean. Troop Leaders please coordinate with your troop to clean the premises and to keep the classrooms in the same condition as found. Future offerings of the Merit Badge workshops will largely depend on how neat the campus is left. All garbage must be properly disposed into designated containers or carried out.

WE WILL ONLY ACCEPT ONLINE REGISTRATIONS. DO NOT SEND MONEY UNLESS YOU ARE ALREADY REGISTERED ONLINE. IF YOUR REGISTERED SCOUT IS NOT ATTENDING, REMOVE HIM FROM THE REGISTRATION. OTHER SCOUTS CAN BENEFIT.
