Scouts are responsible for requesting and completing a Merit Badge as follows:

To sign up for a Merit Badge

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.

To review the Merit Badge requirements

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).

To receive credit for a completed Merit Badge - Please note your parent may not approve your Merit Badge in Scoutbook for you.

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.

Hello Parents,

With the recent passing of our dear friends in the troop, Jonson Chen is inspired to start a parental advisory council with a network of Troop 764 parents to support our scouts beyond scouting. We have a great network of supportive parents who are knowledgeable in different fields of professions. Together, we can be valuable resources to our scouts.

Here is the link: Troop 764 Alumni - Parents Survey

All information submitted is voluntary and will be compiled as a part of the database to match counselor and scout alumni requesting advice and assistance.

Disclaimers: No medical, legal, tax, and investment advice. Information will not be shared outside of the council.

If you have any questions, please email jonsonandamy@gmail.com. Thank you so much for your help!
