To be able to complete a merit badge during Pathways to Eagle the preparation work MUST be completed BEFORE and turned in at the START of the merit badge session.

  

Due to the shortness of the sessions, teaching is not possible. The Scout needs to have read the merit badge pamphlet BEFORE the session and be prepared for each of the requirements.

  

The availability of a Merit Badge session will be based on the actual availability of Merit Badge counselors on the day of the event.

Because of limited space in merit badge sessions Scouts will be assigned to
sessions based on their rank starting with Eagle Scout and working down.
