A Merit Badge Counselor is both a teacher and a mentor to the Scout as he works on the merit badge. Merit Badge Counselors should be satisfied that each Scout under their guidance meets all the requirements set forth for the merit badge. In this sense, a Merit Badge Counselor is an examiner. In a larger sense, the real opportunity for a counselor lies in coaching—helping Scouts over the different hurdles of the requirements and helping make them aware of the deeper aspects of the subject from their knowledge and experience.

Youth Protection Training will be offered immediately following the class.

Who should attend?

Merit Badge Counselors who have not been trained. This is a council wide training opportunity.
