Covid-19 Notice: Many scouts and their friends have lots of "at home" free time. Individually, with a buddy or as a group - the "youth-led patrol" can work on any(!) merit badge and complete some (if not all) requirements from the safety of their home, such as researching their topic or filling out a worksheet.  But scouts working together as a patrol can motivate each other to have fun and to do their best.  A patrol use a video tele-conferencing platform to coordinate their efforts.  And always keep your parents, merit badge counselor and scout leaders informed on your activities and progress.  Good Luck and Scout on!  ([[Scout On Through Covid-19]] and [[Scout Service From Home]])  The planning guides below are suggestions and examples.  We have a top priority to add more as quickly as possible!
