McConnell Merit Badges

Check-in at 8:30 am

Approximate end time: 4:00 pm

 

Classes are limited to 10 scouts per session. Refer to the general instructions below to be prepared for your workshops!  

General Instructions:

  1. Each Scout must bring:
    • Blue card signed by their Unit Leader for each Merit Badge
      • ​Please review Section 7: The Merit Badge Program (Pages 40-51) in the Guide of Advancement, the only official source of the Boy Scouts of America, to follow the merit badge process.
    • Appropriate Merit Badge Pamphlet
    • Pen, paper, and all other material required for the Merit Badge.
  2. Scouts must bring appropriate proof of completion of all prerequisites and be prepared to discuss, report, and demonstrate all prerequisites.
  3. One Merit Badge per Scout per day.
  4. Each Scout must complete all prerequisites before class. If any prerequisites ask for written work, drawings, etc, you must bring it to the class to show to your merit badge counselor. To be unprepared is not fair to those who have prepared and to the Counselors reviewing the subjects.  Remember, Merit Badges are EARNED, not given out!
  5. Lunch for Scouts taking Merit Badge will be provided, $5 for all others. Extra lunch can be added under your scout's registration.

 

Click on each Merit Badge to access the requirements:

Automotive Maintenance

First Aid

Prerequisites: 5a. Prepare a first-aid kit for your home.  Display and discuss its contents with your counselor.

Robotics

Prerequisites

Veterinary Medicine

Prerequisites: 1, 3, 5

 

Need a workbook for your merit badge? You can find workbooks for your merit badge HERE.

*Keep in mind that these workbooks are OPTIONAL aids. A Scout is expected to meet the requirements exactly as stated - no more and no less.
If a requirement uses words like "show," "demonstrate," or "discuss," then every Scout must do that. Just filling out the workbook is NOT sufficient!
Scouts should use the workbooks to prepare notes to themselves, and should not assume that filling in the workbook is sufficient to earn the badge.

 

NOTE:  Changes to some merit badges will become effective on January 1, 2024. Click on the link for more information: https://www.scouting.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/SBSA-Advancement-Updates-2024-v2.pdf
