As a
Scout goes for each merit badge, here are the steps he needs to
take:
-
Talk
over plans for the merit badge with the Scoutmaster. Ask him
to assign a buddy to work with you on the merit badge.
Remember, the buddy system and two-deep leadership should be
followed at all times. Ask him to issue and sign a blue
merit badge card.
-
Read
the merit badge pamphlet for that particular badge to become
more familiar with it (available at troop HQ or local
library).
-
Ask
the Scoutmaster to recommend a counselor from the approved
list counselors. Call and make an appointment.
-
Be on
time for the appointment. Take along the merit badge card, a
notebook, paper and pencil and any other materials that
might be needed. Wear the Scout uniform, of course, and be
neat and clean in appearance.
-
Be
attentive to the information the counselor offers. Take
notes on what needs to be done. Be sure everything is clear.
Set a time for the next appointment to save a phone call.
Note the date and time on the notepad.
-
Then,
begin the actual work on the merit badge. Call the counselor
if anything is not clear.
-
When
the work on the badge is complete, go for the second
appointment.
