List Of Partial Merit Badges From Merit Badge Expo
Below is a link to a PDF file showing the merit badges that our scouts worked on but did not complete. The list is comprised of the requirements that the Scout had completed by the end of the Merit Badge Expo. Information on the requirements remaining can be found at www.scouting.org and type the name of the Merit Badge in the “Search” field. Please read the requirement information carefully.
Please understand that while Troop 108 Leaders are always willing to help in any way they can, Merit Badge requirements have to be approved by a Merit Badge Counselor who is registered and approved by the Palmetto Council of BSA. We can assist the Scouts with this process, but ask for patience as it can take time. (This is why it is critical to make every effort to complete all prerequisites listed prior to the class if at all possible.)
The staff of Merit Badge Expo processed 246 Scouts form four states through 825 Merit Badge courses over the weekend. As hard as we try, there will be mistakes. If you think there may be a mistake on any of the Merit Badges, please Start by sending an email to the Committee Chair or Webmaster b y using the “Contact Us” link at the Troop website, www.fmtroop108.com. Leaders at the Troop meetings do not have this information and we cannot always access the needed files from Unity Presbyterian Church due to connectivity issues.
Please take time to Thank a Leader. These men and women spend countless hours of their time in training and preparation to make our son’s experience in Scouting the best it can be. We had 15 Leaders give up three days from their families, sleep in a tent when it was below freezing and work tirelessly to provide the best possible Merit Badge Expo possible. Twelve of the Leaders actually served on the Expo Staff and the ones who were not on staff took an opportunity to be Red Cross Certified in CPR and First Aid after they ensured all of our Scouts had reached their destination.
Remember, partial merit badges are good until the scout reaches 18 years of age, so once earned, they can always go back and complete them later, up to their 18th birthday. However, it seems to be best if they work to complete them as quickly as possible so they can move on to other merit badge opportunities and adventures.
