LEGACY MERIT BADGES
Scoutmaster Bucky - Legacy Merit Badge Opportnuities |
|
 |
Scoutmaster Bucky Legacy Merit
Badges are opportunities for current day Scouts to work on past
merit badges that no longer exist.
THESE MERIT BADGE OPPORTNUITIES DO NOT COUNT TOWARDS ADVANCEMENT
AND WILL NOT SHOW ON A SCOUTS OFFICIAL RECORD.
Scouts however, will go thru the process as if they were taking
the merit badge in the era it was available. The same
expectations of preparation are expected and information and
reference materials will be made available to those who sign up.
A special Merit Badge Requirements / Preparation Page will be
provided and reference materials will be made available to those
signed up for the class separately.
The opportnities come at a slightly higher price and vary based
on availability and resource requirements. Classes will be
strictly limited to 10 Scouts; first come first served.
Scouts will be provided with an electronic copy of the merit
badge pamphlet from that era and Scouts successfully completing
all requirements will be presented with an official merit badge
from that time era (hence the additional cost especially for
some of the older and rarer ones offered).
Again, it must be noted
that these Legacy Merit Badge opportunities are just for fun and
do not count towards advancement in the current Scouting
program.
Watch for our monthly Legacy Merit Badge offering
Please
contact Scoutmaster Bucky via email
if you have any further questions
or concerns. |

THE PAID REGISTRATION
IS FOR THOSE SCOUTS WHO NEED TO FINISH UP REQUIREMENTS 8 and/or
9. ONLY
REQUIREMENTS 8 and 9 WILL
BE COVERED FOR PAID REGISTRANTS AS THIS IS A FOLLOW UP CLASS
ONLY.
THE FREE REGISTRATION
IS FOR THOSE SCOUTS WHO PARTICIPATED IN OPTION B IN A
PREVIOUS SCOUTMASTER BUCKY PERSONAL FITNESS MERIT BADGE CLASS.
YOUR REGISTRATION WILL BE CHECKED. Any
outstanding requirements will be reviewed with the participants
at this event.
PERSONAL FITNESS WILL BE OFFERED AGAIN FOR
INTERESTED SCOUTS IN THE COMING MONTHS
Scouts need to bring any unfinished work along with their
12 weeks of Physical Training Charts and Tracking. The
majority of class will be sent completing the Analysis and
Review of the Scouts 12 week Physical Fitness program.
This SHOULD be all that most Scouts have left in order to
complete this merit badge.
Some Scouts left the first session with other requirements
unsigned and this follow up session will allow Scouts to review
with the Counselors these remaining requirements. Most
common was the need to show the Physical Check Up as well as the
Dental Check up. Just saying you did it is not enough for
the counselor to sign you off on these. Please bring some
sort of proof like your signed Medical Form, Dental Bill, etc

How to fill out a blue Card
|
|
 Nothing
creates more questions here at Scoutmaster Bucky than Blue
Cards. While the Internet holds a lot of useful information,
there is not a whole lot of detailed information available for
Blue Cards
Scoutmaster Bucky is proud to offer the first comprehensive
Merit Badge Application (Blue Card) Instruction Guide - aka How
to Fill Out a Blue Card.. This document is a guide for both
Youth Scouts and Adult Scouters and Merit Badge Counselors
alike. The guide was put together to help all parties involved
in the handling of Blue Cards to understand each others
responsibilities and roles in the process.
(Click
here to download Scoutmaster Bucky's - How to Fill Out a Blue
Card Document).
Let Scoutmaster Bucky know what you think. Was this guide
helpful? Any questions, clarifications, or corrections? Send me
your questions and watch this section for updates. (Click
here to send Scoutmaster Bucky a Blue Card Instruction Guide
Inquiry email). |

Excerpt from 1918 electricity merit badge
pamphlet
|
|
"There is only one rule in the world, and it
applies to all professions, and that is that you are expected to
'make good'. No excuses are allowed in this school of
life, and the only way to make good is to keep faith. This
the reason I like the idea of the Boy Scouts - because of their
secure notion of being responsible to society. They are
responsible to the people who live around them - to help
maintain the standards of order and fidelity upon which the
community depends."
(signed) Woodrow Wilson
President of the United States of America
