There is NO Charge or Dues to become a Meritbadge Counselor. The Troop 215
Advancement Chairperson will review this Counselors list January of each
year and add or remove counselors as required. Scouts - How to Apply for a Meritbadge 1.
Pick a Subject.
Talk to your Scoutmaster about your interests. Read the requirements of the
merit badges you think might interest you. Pick one to earn. Your
Scoutmaster will give you the name of a person from a list of counselors.
These counselors have special knowledge in their merit badge subjects and
are interested in helping you. 2.

You must have another person with you at each meeting with the merit
badge counselor. This person can be another Scout, your parents or
guardian, a brother or sister, a relative, or a friend. 3. Call the Counselor.

in touch with the merit badge counselor and tell him or her that you want to
earn the merit badge. The counselor may ask you to come and see him so he
can explain what he expects and start helping you meet the requirements. 4. When you know what is expected, start to learn and do the things
required. Ask your counselor to help you learn the things you need to know
or do. You should read the merit badge pamphlet on the subject. 5. Show Your Stuff. When you are ready, call the counselor again to make an appointment to meet the requirements. When you go take along the things you have made to meet the requirements. If they are too big to move, take pictures or have an adult tell in writing what you have done.

When the counselor is satisfied that you have met each requirement, he or
she will sign your application. Give the signed application to your
Scoutmaster so that your merit badge emblem can be secured for you. 8. Requirements.
You are expected to meet the requirements as they are stated -- no more and
no less. You are expected to do exactly what is stated in the requirements.
If it says "show or demonstrate," that is what you must do. Just
telling about it isn't enough. The same thing holds true for such words as
"make," "list," "in the field," and
"collect," "identify," and "label." 9. Meritbadge Colleges – for those attending meritbadge colleges.
Please have a BLUE CARD signed in advance of Meritbadge College to
take with you. If you complete
the meritbadge while at the college, be sure to have the counselor sign your
BLUE CARD (make sure you ask for this) If you meritbadge is not complete and
requires additional work, please see a counselor from Troop 215 listed below
to complete and sign off on the BLUE CARD.
If NO counselor from Troop 215 is assigned to the meritbadge you are
working on, then bring your completed requirements to the Scoutmaster and he
will approve your BLUE CARD / Meritbadge Application. NOTE: Click on the Meritbadge name to go to the current requirements at BSA ScoutSource. You can also click on most of the meritbadge counselor’s names to e-mail them your request to work with them.
