Welcome! Thank you for considering being a counselor for our District Merit Badge Pow Wow! We are excited that you are here and want to give you the information you need. You might have a few questions so hopefully I will be able to answer them here.
The dates for the Pow Wow are
January 14th, 21st and 28th.
There will be four 45 minute sessions each day starting at 8 am until noon. You will have 4 class periods so the first hour of each day will be the same scouts. We will provide a roster for each of your class periods. Each scout will then have had 3 hours of class time for each merit badge.
We will provide each boy a list of the prerequisites. You will want to cover all the other requirements in your 3 hour session.
We often have counselors who can only make it 2 of the 3 days. This is ok provided that you find someone to fill in for you. Some merit badges only take 2 hours to complete. If you find you have more time then necessary then we ask you to have a guest speaker or talk about careers in the field for your merit badge.
I would plan on being at the Pow Wow from 7:30 to 12:30 for set up, class time and take down.
If needed you will be required to bring your own Audio/Video devices. We do not have access to any digital equipment including TV's, DVD's, Computers, Projectors etc...
You should bring your own chalk to use on chalkboards or your own white board/pens to write on if needed. There are chalkboards in the classrooms.
Each boy should bring his own worksheet with all the requirements for each merit badge.
If you have any questions please leave me a comment below and I'll get back to you within 24 hours. You can also call or email me too.
We would like to get your basic information. Please fill out the Contact form on the right side of this page.
Thank you,
