Merit Badge Midway Explanation and Schedule:

The Merit Badge Midway is designed for Scouts to learn about Merit Badges. Consider it as a Trade Show for Merit Badges. Scouts may Start, Finish or totally complete a Merit Badge.

To start a badge, the Scout simply needs to visit a counselor at the Midway. Establish contact with counselor and follow the instructions the counselor gives. Set up a date to meet with the counselor to finish the badge

To Finish a badge, the Scout must have the prerequirsites done. If badge has a time requirement or work to be completed, this must be done. A partial badge may be completed as long as Scout has met with a counselor and has requirements signed off.

To Complete a badge in a day, it mush be a badge that can be done with a counselor in the time period. Some examples are, fingerprinting, art, coin collection, etc. Any pre-required information must be done and brought on this day.

The Merit Badges are scheduled sessions. Check in with counelors to see what their schedule will be. Each counselor may have different time requirements to do.

The Advancement Sessions will be scheduled every hour between 11am and 2pm. Mike Reville and Members of the Disbrict Advancement Team will be training on these subjects.
