HOW:  This merit badge will be taught in a virtual classroom. The class has a capacity of 20 Scouts.

Participants who do not engage with the class may not receive credit for the badge. Scouts must be prompt for all badge sessions. Late participants may not receive credit for all requirements. Scouts must use a device with video to access this class.

Before beginning work on any merit badge, Scouts are to have a discussion with their unit leader regarding the specific badge and counselor.

January 8, 2021 - 5:00 PM - 6:45 PM EST

January 15, 2021 - 5:00 PM - 6:45 PM EST
