Prerequisites and Supplies Needed:
Scouts enrolled in the following merit badges must complete the prerequisites before the day of the event and bring proof of completion to the class (i.e. the actual work which was completed/pre-requisites completed in the actual workbook and brought with them). If the Scout does not complete these prerequisites, he will not complete the badge and will receive a partial which will require follow up with a different counselor after the event.
In addition to these prerequisite requirements, some badges may require additional supplies to be brought to the event and have an additional cost associated with them. If these supplies are not brought, we will try to accommodate to the needs of the scout in each situation, but we cannot guarantee access to extra supplies. All scouts are expected to bring writing materials, merit badge books, merit badge workbooks, and any other supplemental resources to aide them in completing the badge. Workbooks may be printed and used to complete the merit badge as an additional resource. Workbooks are available via www.meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/merit_badge_worksheets.
