= B. Homework / Prerequisites =
Note: This Plan is a Draft - Some dates, events and activities may change after reviewing it with your leaders.  Ponder each of the sections below - what still study, where will you go, what will you do, when will you start and finish?
Assign one or more requirements that the scout can do at home, perhaps as a family activity.
 
'''4. Prepare Draft of your [[Activity Flyer]]:'''
The flyer will summarize all of your ideas on to one page in a colorful format.
 
==B. Plan Presentation ==

# Prepare rough draft of plan - purpose and calendar of events
# Prepare rough draft of event flyer - purpose, event calendar, and how to prepare.
# Carefully notate all "Prerequisites", Supplies needed, costs, homework, etc.
# Meet with the [[Scoutmaster]] and/or [[Troop Guide]].
# Meet with the [[Patrol Leaders Council]].
 
 
* '''Genealogy is Fun!''' - Patrol Presentation. 1-3 Weeks before activity start, share your plan with your patrol.  They need to know what to expect.  They may even Bring a Friend.
# Share your plan with your fellow scouts.
# Send Reminders to Scouts - At least 24 hours before each event.
# Remind Scouts to print and bring the '''[http://usscouts.org/usscouts/mb/worksheets/Genealogy.pdf Genealogy Merit Badge Worksheet]]'''.
# Remind Scouts to print and bring a '''[http://usscouts.org/advance/docs/34124.pdf Blue Card]'''.
