3Bs:Book/Binder/Badge

3Bs : Book / Binder / Badge (Download pdf)

Scouts are expected to always bring the three B’s with them to every meeting:

B – the “Book”, is the official Boy Scout Manual. Keep signoffs for rank advancements in your book. Mark the sides of the book with your last name. Keep it in a heavy-duty Zip Lock bag when camping.

B – the three ring Binder for meeting notes, handouts and other materials. Remember, the Scout uniform is not complete without a small supply of paper plus a pen or pencil.

B – and, the Badge. This is the Merit Badge Book you are currently working on.

Note: Underline means it’s typically offered at Sabattis summer camp. These may be fun to do up at camp. Bold are recommended for consideration for first year scouts. First Aid, Camping, & Canoeing may be started immediately, but take a bit longer to complete. Kick off with the merit badges of highest personal interest. Quickly thereafter start in on the required list.

Troop Counselor list – see the link on the Troop site – http://t152.org

Books – troop library box on the equipment sled or at the local scout trading post – K-Mart shopping plaza Mattydale. Do not buy too far ahead as requirements do change. One to three at a time is a smart idea.

Fill this out with a few merit badges you would like to work on over the next several months.
