Troop 201 List of Merit Badge Counselors
The troop offers a structured and scheduled merit badge college each winter.
However, if a scout desires to take the initiative he can contact the merit badge counselor and take the badge.
Scouts will need to work with the troop's merit badge counselor and determine their availability.
The troop's leaders are more than willing to help scouts earn merit badges based on their schedule and the scout's desire and willingness to complete the badge.
Note: Before beginning any merit badges the scout must consult with the Scoutmaster or Advancement Chair.
