Troop 350 needs parents to volunteer to be Merit Badge Counselors, so that our Scouts can earn the 

badges they want and need for Eagle! This page contains links to all of the requirements to be a 

counselor. You can fill out the forms electronically, but you must print them out to give to the Merit 

Badge Dean. This is because the forms contain sensitive information, and we do NOT want to transmit 

them electronically.
