MERIT BADGES:
-
Pathways to Eagle will supply blue cards, DO NOT give the Scouts blank blue cards to use.
-
Because of changes to Merit Badges requirements much of the Merit Badge session preparation work has been redone this year. Be sure that you and the Scout review the
preparation work needed for each merit badge a Scout wants to take and be sure that they
know what is expected of them and they'll be ready to answer questions. Scouts are encouraged to make use of the Merit Badge worksheets
that are available from the Rainbow Council web site and other locations. By using the worksheets they can have
more work done before the session starts and be ready for testing by the Merit Badge counselor.
Thank You,
The Committee for Pathways to Eagle
