Getting ready
Do at home
Requirements 2a–c, 9*. These can't be done at camp. The Scout finishes them with a merit badge counselor in your council, before or after camp. Camp records everything the Scout completes here.
* May not be possible to complete this summer.
Read the Emergency Preparedness merit badge requirements on scouting.org.
