This note is specifically for parents of T140 scouts who are not currently registered as a Merit Badge Counselor.
How Can you Help?
The Boy Scouts of America currently offers over 120 Merit Badges (MBs) and we would like counselors for many of them. Please see the attached MB list to find those that you have an interest in because of a job, hobby or just want to learn more. We especially want some additional MB counselors for the Eagle Required MBs. A friend or relative may make a great MB Counselor.....please help recruit them!
If your not sure what something means....just ask Mr. Zins or "Google" it!
What are the next steps?
Please let Mr.Zins know which MBs you are interested in. he'll guide you through the simple MB Counselor Registration process and point you toward the necessary resources.
You meet with scouts upon request either at a troop organized time or separately (following the Youth Protection Guidelines) when it fits your schedule to guide them with their MB progress. This commitment it pretty minimal....an estimate of 2-10 hours per year depending upon the number of scouts interested and the specific MB. It is up to the scout to complete the MB requirements, not you.
You have great personal satisfaction knowing that you have positively contributed to the growth of a young man.
Yours In Scouting,

Troop 140 needs some help!
