Greetings Troop 46 Scouts, Parents and Leader!
I'm excited to announce a unique opportunity for our scouts!
There are three merit badges that are being evaluated to be added as official merit badges.
Scouting America is looking to scouts to provide feedback on them.
They are:
- Auctioneering
- Life Skills
- Wildland Fire Management
Merit Badge Test Lab: https://www.scouting.org/skills/merit-badges/test-lab/
Test Lab Rules
1. Any registered adult can work with Scouts on these potential new badges.
2. Badges will have a clearly stated time period by which all requirements must be completed.
3. After the expiration date, the badge will be removed from the Test Lab and the National Council will evaluate if the subject should be added as a new merit badge.
4. When all requirements are finished successfully, a survey will be available to gather opinions on the badge. Scouts will then be able to access the certificate of completion which must be signed and dated by the registered adult they have worked with.
5. Should the badge be approved as a new merit badge, Scouts can be credited as having earned that badge if they present their signed and dated certificate to their unit.
6. Scouts completing the requirements after the expired time period will not be recognized as having earned the badge.
If any scouts are interested in evaluating one or all of these merit badges, please see Mr. Hethcote.
Yours in Scouting
