Citizenship Merit Badge Day in Frederick on 5/19/12 from 7:30 AM to 5 PM. The event will be held at the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints at 1811 Latham Drive in Frederick MD. This event is for older scouts, at least 12 years old. See below for World age requirements. All prerequisites must be completed before the merit badge day event.
The Troop will register as a group by either Mrs. Boyd or myself. Due to prior commitments with my children, I will not be able to work with scouts on their prerequisites this year. Look on the troop web site for other merit badge counselors that could help. Sign-ups will be available at the next troop meeting. You can get merit badge books from the troop librarian, Patrick Boyd.
