Merit Badge Counselor Training

| | Activities, Advancement, Troop News |

merit_badgesDates: Tuesday, October 20, 2015
Time: 7 – 8:30PM
Location: Sycamore Valley Elementary School Library
Cost: Free
Notes: Parents only 

Hi Troop 805 Parents,

We will be having a free Merit Badge Counselor training on Tuesday, October 20th, from 7 – 8:30 pm in the Sycamore Valley Elementary School library.

Merit Badge Counselors are valuable and absolutely necessary volunteers in the Boy Scout Advancement program. Every parent has something to offer to the program. Every parent has some knowledge to share – it could be a hobby, job experience, life experience, etc. This is a wonderful way to help our scouts and our troop. We have 80 scouts and we definitely need more counselors.

By attending this training, you will learn everything you need to know about the Merit Badge program and how to join the ranks of Troop 805 Merit Badge counselors. And we will help you with resources you need for each merit badge. We will help you help the scouts. In about an hour or so a month, you could really make a positive difference in a Scout’s Boy Scout experience.

We would love to see you all there!

Mrs Kim and Mr Kiriakos
