The merit
badge form has three parts. One part is retained by your
counselor (Counselor’s Record), one part is retained by you
(Applicant’s Record), and one part is given to Ms. Mays, Dr.
Jones, or Mr. Jungeblut (Application for Merit Badge). If
you do not provide the Application for Merit Badge,
the merit badge will not be awarded at the next Court of
Honor.
The Scout
is responsible for filling out and turning in the merit badge card.
Merit badge cards will not be accepted from anyone other than the
scout earning the merit badge.
Merit badge cards must be turned
in no later than the Wednesday before the Court of Honor. Merit
badge cards turned in after that day will be taken and we will
make reasonable efforts to award them at the upcoming Court of
Honor. If we are unable to do so, the merit badge will be
presented at a subsequent Court of Honor
If for some reason
we do not award a merit badge and you have given us the blue card,
please let or Ms. Mays know immediately (lmays1323@aol.com).
You should show us the blue card you have kept.
If you were unable
to attend a Court of Honor, you may pick up any merit badges, rank
advancements, or awards which were to be awarded, at subsequent
meetings. Please contact Dr. Jones and the merit badges and/or rank
advancement will be given to you.
Recordkeeping
The scout is
responsible for keeping his personal records for his merit badges
and rank advancements. For merit badges, the scout will have the
Applicant’s copy of the blue merit badge card to keep as evidence
that the badge was completed. At the time the merit badge or rank
advancement is awarded, the scout is given a card with this badge or
rank advancement stapled to it. This card should be kept in the
scout’s personal records as evidence that the badge or rank was
awarded.
