Every Boy Scout must participate in service projects to advance in rank. But service goes beyond advancement requirements. It is part of the growing process. As you move from boyhood to adulthood, you progress from only working for what you want to what is good for the community as a whole. That is why so many good people spend so much time volunteering. Think of all of the adults who help out this troop. They give their time willingly to help you, even though they are busy. These Scouters don t complain about the commitment. They are happy to spend their precious free time helping you, not because it benefits them, but because they know it is a good cause. They demonstrate cheerful service every week at your meetings. While you are here at Camp we provide ample opportunities for cheerful service from participating in flag ceremonies, serving your fellow scouts in the dining hall, cleaning common areas of camp, to Commissioner Special Projects. Please take the initiative to be a Helpful Scout and provide cheerful service 5

6 Programs Merit Badge/Program Reservations Signups for merit badges and for all activities will take place during the registration process. Merit Badges The merit badge program is for all Scouts who are working towards rank advancements or specific skills or interests. All Scouts should have the merit badge pamphlet for each merit badge class. The merit badge program areas include Ecology, Healthcraft, Handicraft, Scoutcraft, Shooting Sports, and Native American, STEM, and The Eagles programs. Most scouts will be able to complete the majority of offered merit badges, predicated on the completion of some existing pre-requisites. Complete merit badge schedules are included on the following pages. Merit Badge Information Pre-requisites, additional costs, and requirements not covered in Winter Camp Scouts may be required to complete requirements prior to coming to Winter Camp for completion of a merit badge. In addition, there are a number of requirements that are not covered in Winter Camp. A complete list of pre-requisites and requirements that are not covered are listed on the following pages in the column labeled Preparation Prior to Camp. A Scout must bring proof of Requirement completion if he wants to get credit for the requirement(s) at Winter Camp. Proof includes: a signed note by the Scoutmaster stating that the Scout has completed the requirement(s); demonstrating the requirement to the Merit Badge Counselor; or bring the required item(s) to camp. Any merit badge that has not been completed at Winter Camp may be completed at a later date. In addition, some merit badges have fees, costs associated with material or items that are required for the class. These items may be purchased at the Jack Jennings Trading Post. The merit badge class may include a trip to the Trading Post to purchase these required items. The merit badge fees or costs for materials or kits are listed on the on the following pages in the column labeled Preparation Prior to Camp. Worksheets are not a substitute for merit badge books. Merit Badge Records Each Unit or provisional scout will receive a Winter Camp Merit Badge Report on the last day of camp. The report will show the merit badge class attendance and which merit badge requirements were completed during camp for each scout. Each Area Director is a registered merit badge counselor for all of the merit badges taught within his or her area. Most Council s (including Central Florida) accept these Reports as evidence of what requirements were completed during Winter Camp. If you have any questions regarding the acceptability of a report of this kind, contact your local Council. If a Unit wishes to have Merit Badge Applications (blue cards) signed by an Area Director, the Unit must bring the Applications to the Area Director(s) during the Blue Card signing in the Handicraft and Healthcraft Pavilions at the conclusion of Camp. The Merit Badge Record Meeting is also the best time to get any questions or concerns addressed regarding your Unit s or individual s merit badges. It is always best to verify your merit badges with the area director s. It is still highly recommended to provide your scouts with a blue card for each merit badge for their records.
