Hi Folks, I just wanted to update you on your scout's progress with Journalism Merit Badge. Tonight, we toured the Times News operation which was very interesting. This completed requirement 2.a.2. in the workbook. Also, tonight completes the classroom sessions for this merit badge and the scouts have been instructed on how to complete the remaining requirements on their own. These requirements for most boys are: 2.a.1., 3, 4, 5. Please support your scouts in completing this merit badge. If the choose to complete the remaining requirements during the next week, Brent Lancaster will be at the scout hut next Tuesday to check off any and all work done. After that, they will need to turn it into Hal or myself to send to Brent. All of the resources are available on our website, but here are the links for your convenience, to the Journalism Checklist <https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=78f2ca079eeb0929&sc=documents&id=78F2CA079EE B0929%212521#!/view.aspx?cid=78F2CA079EEB0929&resid=78F2CA079EEB0929%214603> in order to track your scout through this process.
