Citizenship in the Community

Well, over the last three months, we have been discussing the Citizenship in the Community merit badge. This is a required merit badge for the Eagle rank as well as a requirement for the 100th anniversary of the BSA. This coming Wednesday night I will be taking appointments from your son to have him present his knowledge and show he has completed the requirements. If you are interested in your son earning this merit badge, I would suggest you review the requirements and have him prepared to meet with me, his merit badge counselor. We will be moving on to other merit badges beginning next week and we would appreciate your desire to have your son earn this badge after the work we have put in as leaders. This will require you review and prepare your son for his visit with the 'merit badge counselor' this Wednesday. We offered scouts a blue merit badge card at church this Sunday, which they will need to complete prior to their meeting with me on Wednesday. If you have any questions concerning your son fulfilling the requirements, please let me know. For your information, your son, if he has been active in his priesthood calling has completed 8 hours of community service for a charitable organization by serving the members of the ward in Sacrament meetings and Fast Offering collections, as well as cleaning the building on a Saturday. Hopefully he was able to attend the court we attended in South Ogden and was able to discuss various things with the judge that day. Your son will just have to do exactly what the merit badge requirements are with the counselor this Wednesday. My phone number is 479-1725 and will be anticipating your son's phone call to complete these requirements.
