About Us

 Merit badge counselors are the key to success in the merit badge plan. They offer their time, experience, and knowledge to help guide Scouts in one or more of the merit badge subjects.  Many of our parents and Adult Volunteers have stepped up and been certified as Merit Badge Counselors for our troop as well as for the District.

The counselor's responsibility is to

1. Assist the Scout as he plans the assigned projects and activities to meet the merit badge requirements.
2. Coach Scouts through interviews and demonstrations on how to do the required skills of the craft, business, or hobby.
3. Certify the Scout after determining whether he is qualified for the merit badge.

Please contact Chair@troop693.org if you are interested to become a merit badge counselor!
