MERIT BADGE COUNCILORS NEEDED
The Troop needs you to consider becoming a merit badge counselor. The Troop would like to have at least 2 counselors for each white ring subject, which are needed for Eagle Rank. There are no counselors for First Aid or Emergency Preparedness!
The Troop has only one counselor for most of the white ring needed for Eagle. See Anna for details.
Don’t be intimidated by the subject matter. Most of the merit badge requirements can be done by studying the merit badge booklets. A complete list of merit badge subjects and requirements can be found at www.meritbadge.org. The MB Counselor registration form can be found on our website, www.troop29franklin.com. Please see Jeff Schwartz or Anna dos Santos to sign up!
If you have any announcement that needs to go to the troop, please send it to Deb Ryan at mjryan4@comcast.net by 9:00am on Monday.
