A Scout’s Guideline for Counselor contact:

• Call times UNLESS noted below are Weekdays: 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM; Weekends Use Discretion. Please make all calls with an adult in the room knowing you are calling counselors.

• If counselor does not answer, leave the following information Speak Clearly and Concisely:

Your Name, Troop #, Your Phone Number, and Which Badge you are requesting.

• Repeat above information to be sure it was heard and clear

• For Text and Email, be sure to leave Name, Contact, Troop Number, Which Badge you are interested in & CC adult

• If counselor does not call, email, or text back in a few days contact again! Check your spam folder.

• Counselors who request Email or Text correspondence will require that you CC an additional adult. No second Adult on emails or texts, means no response back from counselor. Parent or Scoutmaster suggested.

• Be sure to understand pre-requisite of badge before hanging up with counselor.

• Badges without Prerequisites will require more homework.
