Hello All,

Sharing Merit Badge information announced at District Meeting yesterday.  Keep your MB counselors current.

Merit Badge Counselors are expected to renew every year in January/February.  MB Counselor tenure is one year, at a time.  Failure to renew on time will cause you to be dropped from the MB counselor list and go through the complete registration process.  Please share with your unit's MB counselors so they can renew.  Youth protection certificate must be provided with renewal and must be valid for the complete year.

Scoutmasters need to be registered as MB Counselors also in order to continue to sign for Camping, Cooking, Scout related MBs which they previously approved.  SM position does not grant authority to approve MB requirements, SMs must follow MB Counselor registration process.

Go to http://www.nnjbsa.org/openrosters/DocDownload.aspx?id=151289, complete the Adult Application, MB application, attach your Youth Protection certificate copy and send to council.  Incomplete adult application, MB Counselor application, or YP certification expiration will cause application to be rejected until corrective action is taken.

Thank you,
Fred
