'''4. Prepare Draft of your [[Activity Flyer]]:'''
= B. Introduction Meeting =
The flyer will summarize all of your ideas on to one page in a colorful format.


==B. Plan Presentation ==
Most merit badge activities do best to have a "introduction" meeting where the patrol can discuss how to get started and to plan out their field trips.   Send out the activity flyer in advance to use as an meeting agenda.  Your scouts will then know what to expect.
At least one month beforehand you need to present your patrol plan for review, modifications and approval. Coming prepared with a plan of action is very important to activity success.  There are many adult and youth leaders are waiting to help you out.

Climbing merit badge is a great merit badge to work as a patrol in the outdoors. It includes several major outdoor activities that be done as part of summer camp, hi-adventure, or a major weekend expedition.
# Carefully notate all "Prerequisites", Supplies needed, costs, homework, etc.
