SCOUTMASTERS, in order to have a smooth running, successful day for our scouts, we need your help!
Please:
1. Copy this flyer and give it to each of your scouts and to your adult committee.
2. Inform your scouts that they MUST call the counselor immediately after they have read the requirements in the merit badge pamphlet of their choice. Counselors have the right to refuse admission to any scout who has not called and prepared properly.
3. Furnish your scouts with a blue merit badge application card (the blue application paper form is fine). They must bring this card to Merit Badge Day filled out and signed by you.
4. Make sure your scouts are prepared for the merit badges before coming to Merit Badge Day.
5. Remind your scouts to wear their FULL UNIFORM to Merit Badge Day, as this is required.
