Merit Badge Class Opportunity

Posted on Nov 25 2024 - 1:53pm
I have reserved space at First Presbyterian Church (Room 207) to host the following Merit Badge Classes.  All times from 7:00 to 8:15 pm.  We request that scouts are prompt and that they enter FPC from the mid-door on Douglas Ave being respectful to other activities scheduled at FPC.
  • Communication  -  December 12 & January 16
  • Citizenship in the Nation  -  January 30 & February 6
  • Inventing  -  February 20 & March 6
Interested Scouts should fill out the form for registration and additional information including required pre-work, workbooks, and on-line progress tracking.
 
These classes are intended to initiate work and familiarize Scouts to the Merit Badge process.  ScoutBook will be used for Blue Cards.  Each  of these Merit Badges have requirements that will exceed the class time.  Therefore, completion will be by appointment when the Scout is ready.

Reminder:  we have a passive Fundraiser Troop 71 Scout families.  Earn 2%-16% rebates through RaiseRight simply by buying gift cards to use for everyday purchases, instead of cash or credit cards.  50% of your family’s rebate will be deposited monthly in your Scout account, and 50% will go to the Troop to cover general expenses.  Participation in this fundraiser is expected to help reduce Troop dues and other related costs for activities (including Makajawan, NYLT, and possibly other High Adventure opportunities).
