Picture
Last night, Scouts were given forms to select their program/ merit badges at Summer Camp. Parents should review the selections with their Scouts to help them get the most out of Summer Camp. 

Merit Badge Selections are due back to Mr. Gillogly on April 28.

There are three merit badge sessions offered during the day.  Some badges are one session, while others (many of the Eagle-required badges) are two sessions.  Be sure to check the schedule, so that you do not overbook.  The schedule was handed out to all Scouts present at the April 14th meeting.  You may also find the schedule on page 30 of the Leader's Guide.
We highly suggest consulting the Pre-requisite Guidebook before making your selections.  This guide will tell you all you need to prepare for ahead of camp. 
If you have partial merit badges that you wish to complete, it is not necessary to register for the badge again.  Please consult with Mr. Gillogly, should you wish to complete a partial badge.

If you have any questions regarding Summer Camp, including merit badge or program selections, please contact Mr. Gillogly.
