Merit Badge Counselor (MBC) training will be held on 03 August at 7 PM. The course will be taught on the second floor of the Seabrook Building at Mt. Pleasant Presbyterian Church by longtime Troop 20 Scouter Dr. Al Aiken.Click here for all the details on MBCs...
Parents, this is an excellent way to become involved in the Boy Scout experience of the scouts of Troop 20. It offers them more experience with other adults besides their parents and troop leaders. Advancement beyond the rank of First Class depends heavily upon the completion of merit badge requirements. Upon completion of this course you will be certified as a counselor in the merit badge or badges you select.
Merit badge areas depend upon your interests and expertise, whether it is your occupation, hobby or general interest. You will be asked to fill out an application to become a Merit Badge Counselor. There is no monetary payment required and the MBC designation will be valid for one year. Parents should carefully consider which merit badges they would like to be counselors. This information will then be submitted to the advancement committee of the council for their approval. This will certify you as a MBC for these merit badges. I strongly urge you to consider volunteering to be a MBC, you may contact me or Al Aiken (aa1656@aol.com). The scouts of Troop 20 thank you!!!
