 About Merit Badge Counselors:
The Merit Badge Counselor is a key player in the Boy Scout advancement program. Whatever your area of expertise or interest—whether it is a special craft or hobby (basketry, leatherwork, coin collecting), a profession (veterinary medicine, aviation, engineering), or perhaps a life skill (cooking, personal management, communications)—as a Merit Badge Counselor, you can play a vital role in stirring a young man's curiosity about that particular topic. By serving as a Merit Badge Counselor, you offer your time, knowledge, and other resources so that Scouts can explore a topic of interest.
If you are not yet a Merit Badge Counselor, it is easy to become a volunteer. You will need to register with the Boy Scouts of America, through the Tall Timbers District. Obtain, complete, and turn in to the Troop Membership Chairperson the Adult Leader Application. The Troop Membership Chairperson and Tall Timbers District will process your application. Every applicant's references are checked to insure the scout's safety.
Next, complete the online course for Youth Protection Training. Follow this link, log on (you may need to establish a logon if you haven't already done so), and take the course. It should take you 20 to 25 minutes.
Now sign up as a Merit Badge Counselor! Our troop is always in need of Merit Badge Counselors.
