MrMic-O-Say Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 37 total, 5 required... Come on, everyone join the Merit Badge Mill Game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkie Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Our summer camp offers 41! with 5 required for Eagle. The addition of a Fine Arts area last year (painting, art, sculpture, theatre, public speaking and music) may explain the higher number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni4TA Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Forgive my ignorance but is this normal for summer camp that they offer this many merit badges and so many required ones? I have been all around the Cubbie program but this is the first year my son is a Boy Scout. My Stepson is an Eagle Scout, but was 16 when I started dating his father so I am not sure what he earned in previous summer camps to compare to now. Thanks, Joni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk9750 Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Every other year we go to Summer Camp in the states. I don't have the sheet in front of me, but I seem to remember two full columns of merit badge offerings, which is probably 32 - 34. Of those, Camping, Env. Science, Swmming Lifesaving and Hiking, all Eagle required. are offered. My perspective as to it being a MB mill? Not really. The badges you'd expect to be easy, basketry and leatherwork, for instance, are easy. Env. Science and Lifesaving are tough. Most of our boys come away with 2 - 4 badges, depending on the mix. I wouldn't say that is mill - like. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle90 Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 The camp we attend offers 45 merit badges, 6 of them from the required list. We ask our scouts to pass a minimum of 2 during the week, with most of them doing 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoePro Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Our summer camp offers 20 merit badges, 5 of which are Eagle requirements. All are offered before lunch except Astronomy. The afternoons are for activites and adventure. Most scouts earn 2 merit badges during the week, but a lifetime of stories to tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
