Sign up on the Troop website calendar for Summer Camp 2023 to spend a week on Catalina Island at Emerald Bay.

First timers can work on merit badges like Art, Woodcarving and Nature while 2^nd year and older Scouts can take more challenging Eagle required classes like Environmental Science, Camping and Shotgun Shooting. Older Scouts may want to consider the Rugged Adventurers programs where they can spend the week scuba diving or mountain biking or canoeing around the island.

• Review the Merit Badge information and confirm that you meet the prerequisites (age, rank, skills, etc.) to take the class.
• Check with your parents and your calendar that the merit badge dates and locations work for your schedule.
• Email your Assistant Scoutmaster (cc your parents) to ask for permission to take the Merit Badge class; your ASM will enroll you in Scoutbook online.
• If approved, sign up for the Merit Badge class on the calendar event on our website. If Scouts who sign up exceed capacity, we'll manage a wait list using the time you signed up.

• Ask one of our Librarians to borrow the correct Merit Badge book. Here's a list.

• The Merit Badge Counselor sometimes may distribute a workbook or list of requirements.

• Log into Scoutbook online.
• Go to "My Dashboard" and then click on your name.
• Scroll down and click on the link labeled "Advancement".
• Find and click on the Merit Badge in the list. It should bring you to a list of the requirements.
• If you wish, you can mark the requirements when you complete them, but you should not click the final approval/completed button (nor have your parent do so).

• Check with your Merit Badge Counselor that you have completed all requirements. Your MB Counselor will approve you in Scoutbook online.
• Email your Assistant Scoutmaster (cc your parents) with the name of the MB and that you have completed all requirements. Your ASM will approve you in Scoutbook online.
• Email advancement@troop764.com with the name of the MB and state that your MB Counselor and ASM have approved them.
• Please give Mrs. Oldoerp a few days to confirm that everything looks good. She may reply to your email or you may ask her at a Troop meeting.
