Merit Badge Counselor Training

Reminder for leaders and parents: Troop 24 needs more Merit Badge Counselors! Boy Scouts can earn merit badges in over 100 subjects, and we know many of you have special skills and knowledge in those subjects from your work, education, hobbies or other life experience. We are seeking adults to work exclusively with Troop 24, helping scouts complete partials from camp, running merit badge classes during troop meetings, or consulting with scouts who want to work on merit badges outside of meetings. To make it easy for Troop 24 adults to be certified as merit badge counselors, we have scheduled an accredited BSA instructor to lead a training during the troop meeting time (7pm) on November 17, 2016 in the church Social Hall. Youth Protection Training (YPT) will also be provided (starting approximately 7:45pm), for those becoming merit badge counselors or other adults who need to renew this training. Refreshments will be served! Please let us know if you plan to attend.
