| | How To Complete a Merit Badge
Earning merit badges is fund and easy. It is also an
integral part of Star, Life, and Eagle advancement. Scouts can work
as individuals or in groups to complete merit badges. There are 6
simple steps to earning a merit badge
-
Decide which merit badge you want to earn. You can see
the requirements for each merit badge on the following web site.
US Scouting
Service Merit Badge Site
-
Ask your scoutmaster for a merit badge card. It is
your responsibility to get the card, have your progress recorded on the
card, and turn the card into our advancement coordinator when it is
complete.
-
Get a copy of the merit badge book. We have a troop
library with many books, most public libraries have them, and the are
available at scout stores
-
Find a counselor for the merit badge that you want to work
on. If you need phone numbers or if you want to do a merit badge that
we don't have a troop counselor for email meritbadge@troop368.com
or ask a leader
-
Contact the counselor and make arrangements to work on the
requirements
-
Upon completion of the requirements, have the counselor and
your scoutmaster sign the merit badge card. Give the proper part
to the troop advancement coordinator, and save the rest for your records.
This is a list of our Troop 368 Merit Badge Counselors. If
you need a counselor for a merit badge that is not listed ask a scout leader or
committee member.

Merit Badge Counselors
We need Merit Badge Counselors !! Earning Merit Badges is an
exciting and important part of the scouting experience.
Before a scout can start working on a Merit Badge he needs two things:
a merit badge card signed by his Scoutmaster and a Merit Badge Counselor.
The Merit Badge Counselor's role is to guide and review the work that the
boys do and insure that they satisfy the requirements of the badge. For more
information about what merit badge counselors do
click here.
The process of becoming a merit badge counselor is as easy as 1-2-3.
First, select subject areas that you would feel comfortable teaching or
counseling (click
here for list). Second, complete the merit badge counselor
application form (click
here for the form). Third, if you are not a registered adult
member of BSA you will need to fill out an adult registration form (click
here for the form). Oh...I guess there is a fourth thing.....drop
the completed forms in the troop mailbox.
