Virtual Art Merit Badge

What: Art Merit Badge is a fun experience where Scouts will have the opportunity to explore the different methods in which an artist can create work.  This badge goes well beyond just a pen and paper! We’ll look at the creative thinking method art takes, and the wide variety of ways art is incorporated in the world. This badge is perfect for those who consider themselves creative!

 Meet your Counselor - Ethan Bachand is from Milford Connecticut. He was a scout in Troop 65 Trumbull, CT for seven years, and also is currently on staff at Yawgoog Scout Reservation. He is a sophomore at The College of the Holy Cross, where he majors in Political Science and minors in Rhetoric and Composition. Ethan is an artist and is passionate about sharing and teaching creatively.

WHO: Open to all Scouts BSA members.

HOW:  The ART Merit Badge will be taught in a virtual classroom. The class has a capacity of 15 Scouts. Small classroom size provides all students with the opportunity to share and interact with the counselors and other Scouts. Scouts should be prepared to be challenged and to join the conversation! Participants who do not engage with the class may not receive credit for the badge. 

WHEN: This class will be held virtually over two sessions:

April 7, 2020 5:30PM-7:00PM 

April 9, 2020 5:30PM-7:00PM

Scouts must attend both sessions to complete the offered requirements.

After registering, Scouts will receive a link and login information via email. Scouts will also receive instructor details that can be used to connect to the counselor on Scoutbook. This assures that completed requirements are easily recorded. 

PREREQUISITES:  Req. 4
