The Merit Badge Process

Greetings Scouts,

I hope you all had a nice winter break. This past Tuesday meeting you planned the details of the Court of Honor (COH); completing planning for the ski trip; and many stayed after the Troop meeting to work on your Snow Sports Merit Badge. 

Just a reminder on the BSA merit badge process:

1. Start with getting a Blue Card (get one signed from me your Scoutmaster);
2. If you don’t already have one on the line, you will be assigned a counselor;
3. Next, earn the requirements and get sign off from the counselor on your blue card (or equivalent); then return the blue card to the Scoutmaster for signature;
4. Finally send to our Advancement Chair, Mr. O’Neil or advancement@troop132.com  to ensure it gets recorded.
5.  You will then receive the merit badge at the next Court of Honor.

The next COH is next Tuesday. Pizza will be available.

We are still in Scouts Gear 4, which requires mask, so please bring your mask to the next meeting.
I will be again up in the great north woods of New Hampshire on snowmobiles and made those plans many months ago, otherwise I would be racing you down the slopes of Wachusett Mountain! I’m still recovering from sledding, which was a lot of fun except for the rocks.

The scouters (adult scout leaders) met last Wednesday and discussed plans for the future, budget, including the Christmas tree funds (We earned over $7700 to the troop!), summer camp, Seabase, surfing, rafting, Webelos cross-over and our Scout House clean up.

If you have some ideas of what you want to do next year…let’s start brainstorming and adding some time in to start planning.

The Next PLC is Monday March 14.

Please welcome all friends, family to the Court of Honor!!

Do your good turn each day!

YiS,
Mr. Duggan, Scoutmaster
