MSC Scouting at Home Patch Program for Scouts BSA!

Scouting at Home Patch 2020
Scouts BSA just need to complete 6 of the listed options in the Scouts BSA requirements.

Once a Scout has completed the requirements to earn the patch, an adult should send the completed MSC Scouting from Home Patch Program Tracker form (a scanned copy or a photo is fine) to the District Executive Robert Stewart at robert.stewart@scouting.org.

 

 

Scouting Advancement can still happen from home!

Remember, Scouts still need their Unit Leader’s approval to start working on a Merit Badge, and Youth Protection policies must be observed even in a digital setting.

 

 

Online Merit Badge Opportunities:

This is a great time to encourage Scouts to complete their Cyber Chip!

Merit Badges

Below are merit badges that can be worked on from home. As always, check with your Scoutmaster for approval before starting a new merit badge. Most of these will require online research during this time, so be sure you have completed your Cyber Chip first. Remember some requirements require supervision, so ask a parent or counselor about these before you start.
