SKILLS LEARNED TODAY,
BUILD CAREERS TOMORROW! ©
1. Copy this flyer and give it to each of your scouts and your adult committee.
2. Have a “Discussion” with the Scout & help choose badges appropriate for him. Make sure the Scout is Registered, & the
Counselor is registered & approved for each badge (counselors on this packet are o.k.).
3. Give the scout a BLUE CARD, signed by you (on the front only, under Scout’s name/address).
4. Tell scouts they MUST read the requirements in the latest merit badge book of their choice first, & then call the counselor for
further requirements. Counselors have the right to refuse admission to any scout who has not called, prepared properly, or does
NOT have a BLUE CARD--we’re trying to teach scouts “responsiblity”- to have a signed Blue Card in order to take a class!
5. Please encourage your scouts to wear their FULL “CLASS A” UNIFORM on Merit Badge Day.
SCOUTS: In order to have a smooth running, successful day for you, we need your help! Boy Scout Motto: BE PREPARED!
1. Choose 1 merit badge in the morning & 1 badge in the afternoon. If you choose an All-Day class, you will earn only 1 badge.
(A Scout can earn merit badges if schedule & prior preparation permit. Extra merit badges can be finished if you are prepared ahead.)
2. You MUST have a “Discussion” with your SM & get a BLUE CARD; you fill it out legibly, & get SM to Sign it on front only.
To the SCOUT: YOU need to KNOW HOW TO SPELL & PRINT your Name, Address, Troop#, District&Council name, Badge
Names, & Scoutmaster’s name--SO WE CAN READ IT! (Practice!) (ours is RioHondoDistrict;LAAC(LosAngelesAreaCouncil)
3. Read the MOST RECENT pamphlet/merit badge book for the merit badge(s) you choose.
4. You, the SCOUT (not Mom or Dad), CALL THE COUNSELOR IMMEDIATELY to get permission/reserve a space in class!
Ask counselor questions about prerequisites & any pens/pencils, paperwork, projects, equipment, etc. you need to bring.
5. Prepare: Read! Re-read! Re-read again. Do the badge Prerequisites. Fill out any Worksheets you want to download.
You must complete prerequisites listed in this packet (plus any other things counselor tells you about) before MB Day.
6. Find/Wear a FULL Class A SCOUT UNIFORM. CAMOUFLAGE, SWEATS, AND T-SHIRTS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE AND
YOU WILL BE SENT HOME. COMPLETE UNIFORMS ONLY (not Sash; that’s for formal Boards of Review & Courts of Honor.)
7. Bring: BLUE CARDS, Merit Badge books, $$, Counselor requirements, any Worksheets, be in Uniform, & Jacket w/Name in !
8. Remember: Classes close after the first 5 minutes. Please be on time, or better yet, BE EARLY!
9. All cell phones/devices must be off & put away during class; no texting--attention must be on counselor, not device!
10. CHECK-IN/PAY at Registration Table inside large recreation hall when you arrive (or in Kitchen IF..; like if coming in PM only)
FEE $5.00 includes lunch. Fee is the same, whether eating lunch or not, or coming half day. Menu: Hot dogs/chips/drink/dessert.
*TO PRE-REGISTER: CALL INDIVIDUAL MERIT BADGE COUNSELORS in this packet, by March 19.
Classes close fast (space for approx. 10 per class in smaller rooms).
♦Official BSA National website: scouting.org/boyscouts/advancementandawards/meritbadges.aspx.
Worksheets may be found on volunteer sites: usscouts.org, meritbadge.org, etc.
Take Completed blue card(s) to Scoutmaster for a 2nd Visit & Signature, then to Advancement Chair to record & purchase badges!
“Partials” will be given if you have not done the requirements; save card, to finish badge later. Don’t leave class without Blue Card!
(IF A SCOUT DID NOT PRE-REGISTER, HE MAY STILL ATTEND ANY SESSION WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE MERIT BADGE COUNSELOR...)

Please Note:
No smoking in the bldg, outside the bldg, or in and around the area of merit badge sessions.
IMPORTANT: Scouts may not call counselors after 9:00pm or before 9:00am. A Scout is always COURTEOUS & KIND.
If voicemail, speak SLOWLY: Say & spell your Name, Troop#, your PHONE#(&area code) twice, & email address.
(PARENT: Help your Scout write down what to say on the phone - & help him PRACTICE. They speed up after they start...)
When you talk too fast the counselor can’t understand you, so he/she can’t call you back.
