A Scout who is unable to complete one or more requirements can schedule later sessions with the counselor to demonstrate his knowledge or skills or requirement completions.

Preparation before class:

1. Scouts can print merit badge requirements from
a. http://www.scouting.org/meritbadges.aspx
or from
b. http://www.meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Merit_Badge_Worksheets
Printed workbooks are optional and not mandatory but Scouts will find that workbooks from the www.meritbadge.org site will be helpful in organizing their work.

2. Scouts should bring these pages and blank paper and pen to the course for their notes and research. These items will not be supplied by the course instructors.
Preparation during class: All Scouts are expected to take notes and to write down answers to requirement questions as the information is presented during the course. These notes should be available at the end of the day to show the merit badge counselor on-site and to demonstrate your participation and learning to your Scoutmaster and other troop leaders. Scouts should keep these notes to avoid any concerns about the level of participation or accomplishment at Boards of Review or Scoutmaster Conferences.
