A Quick Look
at MBM: |
Each year
Troop 695 puts on Merit Badge Madness during the months of
January and February. We devote the last part of
January and all of February to working on Merit Badges.
A mixture of Eagle-required and optional badges are offered.
How does it
work? Scouts sign up for badges they want to work on.
A signup sheet is handed out during the month of December.
The Scouts then work on the badge requirements during the
Troop meetings in January and February.
The
culmination of badge work takes place at
Camp St. Croix
in Hudson, WI one weekend in February. In addition to
finalizing their work on badges, the Scouts have the option
of going skiing or snowboarding at
Afton Alps.
Camping in
February? Relax. We stay in heated cabins and
have indoor meeting space. Meals are provided by the
camp and eaten in the dining hall. No tents! No cooking! No
washing dishes! |

Merit Badge
Books: |
Troop 695 has
a very extensive library with plenty of copies of the Merit
Badge books to go around. However, in order to make
the books available to the next person, it is important that
Scouts return all Merit Badge books for badges that they
have either finished or for which they no longer need the
book. And, if you're not quite finished with that
badge, this is a great time to get it finished!
Beginning
with this year's MBM, we will ask the Scouts to sign out the
Merit Badge books they will be using. If a book is
lost or not returned, that Scout will have to pay to replace
the lost book. |
