First Year Scouts, we've already signed you up for your program, You're in a GREAT PROGRAM

Please keep in mind when filling out your Merit Badge Sign Up sheet some of the classes are 2 periods long. There are 2 period classes- be careful when filling them out that you either don't overlap or that you are missing a MB period.

PAPERWORK:

With regards to paperwork the scout will need to bring to camp. It is strongly suggested that the boys bring their scout handbook (in a ziplock bag) to camp. Make sure that their name, troop number, and address are inside the book. It is also suggest that you copy or scan all of the pages in the back that have rank requirement signatures in case something happens to the book. Also, a scout is signed up for a MB that he has a "Partial" blue card, from a previous summer camp - he should bring the "actual" blue card, but again please make copies of the Blue Card.

COPIES of other cards to bring -

TOTIN' CHIP: It is also suggested that everyone brings a copy of their TOTIN' Chip card (both sides) - a number of MB will require proof of this - along with the scout trading post if a scout wishes to purchase a knife (which about 75% of the scouts usually do).

FIRST AID Blue Card: a number of MB's have a requirement that the scout earn the first aid MB. If they have earned it, bring a copy of the completed blue card (both sides)

SWIMMING Blue Card: If a scout is taking lifesaving

Prior to going to camp please have all Merit Badge books of the Merit Badges that you wish to do. These can be obtained from either the Troop Librarian ( John D.) or by purchasing them at Efingers, Patriots Path Council Scout Shop, or any other store that sells Merit Badge books.
