Venturing awards

[Crewadv]

If a youth is co-registered in a troop and crew can he use the requirements he does in the troop for merit badges toward Venture awards?

 

thanks.

Yes and No

 

Male Venturers can receive multiple credit for requirements, such as using American Red Cross First Aid. The only time a Venturer cannot receive multiple credit is when they are required to do a tabletop display or presentation. Requirements must be exact equals.

 

For instance, the backpacking merit badge does not equal the backpacking elective for the Ranger Award. Some of the requirements may count, but not all. They must be working on the requirements as a Venturer. The only exception is Open Water Diver, BSA Lifeguard, First Aid/CPR, etc where current certification is required, regardless of when it was completed.
