Merit Badges (Emeka, Luke, Jonas, Ian, Robin, Luis, Greg):
For the near future, merit badge classes will be conducted by Chris DeVoe online via Zoom (a member of his household is at high risk of COVID so he can't meet with us in person yet). Initially, he will give priority to Citizenship in the Community, Personal Management and Communications merit badges (These represent the few remaining required Eagle merit badges that Robin and Luke need). Chris is also willing to consider other badges as more merit badge instructors become available. We will also be able to do more in October when we will be able to meet in the church again. Chris will distribute a zoom link for each session to interested scouts. The session may also be on another night so older Scouts can attend our regular troop and pack meetings.
