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.

 Projected menu will be

 Chili Dogs/Hot Dog and Nachos
