  • Any requirements that need to be emailed to the merit badge counselor should be sent by the parent for youth protective reasons.
  • For requirements fulfilled before the date of the merit badge class, the student and parent/guardian should provide proof of completion and approval of requirement will be at the discretion of the merit badge counselor.
