PREPARATION FOR MERIT BADGE DAY
All requirements numbers are from Boy Scout Requirements (current year), which is the official list of requirements. Scouts are to have
completely read and studied all the information in the Merit Badge Pamphlets for the Merit Badge they desire to earn. Specific requirements
that must be completed prior to class are listed below. If a Scout does not finish all requirements on Merit Badge Day, he will receive a
“partial” for that Merit Badge and the Scout is encouraged to continue working with the Merit Badge Counselor to finish the requirements as
soon as possible. Merit Badge worksheets are recommended to assist Scout in preparation for the class.
Worksheets available on U.S. Scouting Service Project website at: http://usscouts.org/meritbadges.asp
