Hi Folks, we are beginning the instruction of an Eagle Required Merit Badge under the direction of our Assistant Scout Master, Chad Coble. Over the next couple of weeks, the scouts will be discussing and learning this very important badge. Please make sure your scout is in attendance if at all possible as some requirements are passed off nightly as well as homework is assigned. What they will need: Paper & Pencil or Pen Scout Handbook Water Bottle Printed copy of the Workbook Any homework that is assigned (See below) It's a good idea to have a dedicated "string bag" or book bag, just for scouts.
