Merit Badge Counselors
- Merit badge counselors are volunteers who help the scouts earn the merit badges they need to advance in rank.
- Anyone can be a merit badge counselor. Usually a person will pick a merit badge that may be part of their occupation or hobby (i.e., Nurse may do the First Aid merit badge)
- The counselor is responsible for reading the merit badge hand book and following the requirements and conditions associated
- The counselor is required to complete and sign the "Blue Card" that has been filled out by the scout.
