2019 Salesmanship Merit Badge-Microsoft Store

Event Details

The Salesmanship and Public Speaking workshop is a two-hour workshop that gives Scouts an opportunity to work through a variety of age-appropriate activities, which are necessary to obtain a Salesmanship merit badge (Boy Scouts) or a Cadette Public Speaker badge (Girl Scouts). A confident speaker has the skills to connect with an audience, to persuade them, or to share an experience. Those who can be themselves while speaking confidently—to one person or to a crowd—will benefit from this important life skill. From selling to making a strong point during a debate, Scouts can develop these skills in a fun and comfortable environment.

In this workshop, Scouts learn the importance of salesmanship, stage presence, speaking to customers, and feeling confident in front of an audience. Participants interview Store Associates, learn more about their favorite Microsoft products, and use the Bing search engine to search for a presentation topic. Scouts then use a Microsoft Surface device to create a unique Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, which is then used as a visual aid. Finally, Scouts burn off some of their boundless energy with Xbox free time.

All merit badge workshops are two hours in length on the date indicated.   Upon fulfilling the requirements, the Counselor will sign the BSA Blue Card/merit badge card. During their workshop, Scouts will have a period of free time so they can enjoy a hands-on experience with the newest technology found in the store. Scouts must bring a merit badge card/Blue Card signed by their Troop leader and a flash drive if they would like to keep their presentation.

Prerequisites:  Requirement #5

All youth must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the workshop (we need at least 1 adult to every 2 Scouts to help supervise). Scouts should be in uniform and have their workshop receipt.
