The Merits of Scouting
How to Get Requirements Signed Off
Requirements are things you get signed off on your own. You have to make your own time for this. Different times you can get things signed off are at the beginning of a meeting, or during the game. Another great time is during camping trips. To get the signatures in your book, you can either go to a Green Bar member or an Adult Leader. You can get Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class requirements signed off at any time, (Ex: You can be tenderfoot and get the swimming requirements for First Class) but once you hit first class, everything else must go in order. Also, for Star, Life and Eagle requirements, you must get them signed off by an adult leader, no more Green Bar.
How to get Merit Badges
First you must ask the Advancement Coordinator for a blue card. You can do this by emailing or physically speaking. Once you receive the blue card, it will give your Counselors name, phone number, and where he or she lives. You first must call your counselor using proper communication, and appropriate language, saying you are starting. Then once you are finished, you call them again and schedule an appointment to meet with them on a date that works for both. Once you complete the badge, they will hand you a part of your blue card back, and it is your responsibility to hand that to the Scout Master.
