Troop 711 cannot function without the help and support of the fathers that take care of everything the scouts cannot. Whether the work involves troop-council relations, committee meetings, or general guidance and counsel, the dads are always an incredible benefit to the boy-led troop.

In order to become a registered adult and/or Merit Badge Counselor (MBC) in Troop 711, you must do the following:

 

1. Complete a BSA Adult Application

(http://www.boyscouts-ncac.org/openrosters/DocDownload.asp?id=33475&orgkey=1988 )

You MUST include your Social Security Number on the form in order for BSA to complete their background check.

Use position code "42". No fee is required for MBC's

 

2. Complete a Merit Badge Counselor Information Form

(http://www.boyscouts-ncac.org/openrosters/DocDownload.asp?id=33381&orgkey=1988 )

Please include your email address on the front of this form. Our District representative will review these forms so please include enough justification showing your qualification to teach the badge(s) you signup for.  I recommend relating the number of years experience you have, list any professional or recognized certifications, etc.

 

3. Complete Youth Protection Training.

This can be completed online at http://olc.scouting.org/

4. Please scan your completed forms and certificate for completing Youth Protection Training.
