Merit Badge Mania

Event Details

Merit Badge Mania is an opportunity for Scouts to meet with qualified counselors and earn merit badges needed for rank advancement.  Each merit badge class has a limited amount of seats.  Please be attuned as to whether or not that Scout is working on their prerequisites now and not assuming to get a “free pass” when they arrive at class.  If they do not do the prerequisites, the counselor WILL not sign off on that particular item and the boy will go home with a partial.  Also, due to the limited seating, the unprepared boy could possibly have taken the seat of a boy who would have been prepared.  This statement has been included due to complaints from past merit badge counselors regarding unprepared scouts.

Remember, it is you, the unit leader, who has final say as to how many and which merit badges a Scout may earn at Merit Badge Mania.  It is the Scoutmaster’s responsibility to hold a discussion and evaluate each Scout’s readiness to work on a merit badge before signing the blue card.  We are attempting to offer a wide variety of merit badges, so take into account the merit badge counselor resources of your troop and place the restrictions you deem appropriate on your Scouts attending Merit Badge Mania before approving their merit badge schedules.

The classes at Merit Badge Mania are designed to let the Scout leave with a completed merit badge. The goal is to have no partials at the end of the day unless there is a follow up date already scheduled (check the prerequisite listing).  In order to accomplish this, prerequisites have been assigned.

It is expected that each Scout have all prerequisites done prior to coming to class and be able to demonstrate that to the instructor’s satisfaction.
