Hello everyone!

Please join us for the third annual Merit Badge Academy here at Deerfield High School. Bring your troop, patrols, and more to this Merit Badge Academy!

The cost is $15 per scout to attend both days. This means that a scout can earn up to two-three merit badges for $15 if he or she completes the prerequisites outlined below for each merit badge (Pre-Requisites coming soon!)

Bring your troop, patrols, and more to this Merit Badge Academy!

Citizenship in Society

Be prepared to share with the group the following: 1) Research an individual you feel has demonstrated positive leadership while having to make an ethical decision. 2) Identify and interview an individual in your community, school, and/or Scouting who has had a significant positive impact in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion(or if you feel your community, school, or local Scouting group does not have such an

individual, then research a historical figure who meets these criteria). 3) Research an event that had a positive outcome on how society viewed a group of people and made them feel more welcome
