Merit Badge Counselor Orientation

Every year, Troop 22 offers this training in-house during a Troop meeting.

Why run it in house every year?

  • Running the training at Prince of Peace during a Troop meeting means that it is very easy for parents to attend
  • Merit Badge Counselors must reapply and be approved by the District and Council each year
  • New parents join the troop each year
  • As parents become more experienced with Boy Scouting they may become interested in becoming a Merit Badge Counselor
  • Its a great refresher for continuing Merit Badge Counselors who may have forgotten some of the details and guidelines
  • Parents who just want to find out about the Merit Badge Process may want to sit in on the class
  • It is a good time to make sure that all of our Troop 22 Merit Badge Counselors have filled out their annual application
