Ransberg 2004 Merit Badge and Activity Sign-up

New scouts - check all Eagle Quest blocks and consider taking at most two merit badges in the New Scout category. Please review the pre-requisites and paperwork to determine if you can take the merit badge and what requirements to study before leaving for camp. "Be Prepared" It will make it a lot easier for you to complete a merit badge if you go over the requirements and get as much out of the way before camp. Check out merit badge pamplets from the troop library or the public library to understand the requirements. All merit badge requests will be reviewed by your adult leaders before being approved.

Experienced scouts - the majority of classes are 50 minutes long. In some cases it may take longer than 10 minutes to get from one program area to the next, review the schedule and map carefully. Don't overload yourselves! It is better to get three merit badges and have fun than spend all your time working on five merit badges and get only one. All merit badge requests will be reviewed by your adult leaders before being approved.

Instructions: Use the check box in the left hand column to select which merit badges and activities you would like to take while at summer camp. After completing all selections, click the submit button at the end of the page.
