Getting ready
Do at home
Requirement 8. This can't be done at camp. The Scout finishes it with a merit badge counselor in your council, before or after camp. Camp records everything the Scout completes here.
Read the Communication merit badge requirements on scouting.org.
Signing up
Your unit leader registers each Scout for classes in MyCouncil when your week's registration opens in late April. Classes fill up, so list a second and third choice for each session.
