General Information
Welcome again to our second year of our Rio Del Oro Merit
badge Frenzy, Let me start by saying that I am so sorry that it has taken so
long to get this together, I was working a lot of this via a cell phone because
my computer broke. But everything came together at the end and here we are for
our second year.
Scouts are expected to have a printed workbook from
meritbadge.org for each merit badge they are attending as well as something to
write with. They should read though the workbook and be knowledgeable about what
is required. Scouts should have all prerequisites completed. In some cases that
will still not complete the merit badge but each councilor will provide a way
to get a hold of them to finish signing off the requirement when completed.
New this year Troop 88 will have a fund raiser lunch that
can be purchased or a bag lunch will need to be brought from home. There are no
close restaurants that offers lunch in the amount of time
allotted.
