Requirements for
Eagle-Required Merit Badges What are Pre-Requisites and What They Require Activity Participation
These requirements simply ask the
Scout to participate in some activity. The requirement doesn’t ask the
Scout to make anything, document or analyze something to get feedback
from an instructor. These requirements are straight forward and just
about any leader can verify them. Validation - Something that proves a Scout did it; this could be a report card, or a picture. Activity Participation with Results These requirements ask a Scout to do something that must be evaluated by the merit badge instructor. These requirements often ask the Scout to analyze, collect something, or ask for feedback from an instructor. Examples - Make an ecosystem in a bottle and monitor it for 7 days, perform an energy audit of your home and track ways that you have saved energy for 14 days, make a budget and try to stick to it or collect 10 rocks and minerals and properly identify them are all examples of requirements that ask Scouts to participate in activities with results. Validation- If the requirement asked the Scout to make something, the Scout needs to bring what they made, whether it is a rock collection, an ecosystem in a bottle, a copy of your letter to a Congressman, or your budget for the last three months. If the requirement asked you to do something with what you made, bring that too. Observations of your bottle, a paragraph on how you stuck to your budget, the response from your Congressman all fit this category. Sometimes, a requirement asks you to make something that isn’t easily brought to camp like the 230 lb lake sturgeon you caught for fishing merit badge. In these cases, a photo is sufficient. If possible, work with your Scoutmaster to find a merit badge counselor near your home troop who can validate the requirement. Paperwork These requirements ask the Scout to write something, whether it is report, letter, drawing, or essay. Examples - Drawings for Art, reports for Environmental Science, or essays for Communications all fit this category. Validation - The Scout must bring whatever they produced. What the Scout wrote will be reviewed by the merit badge instructor to see if the work meets the instructor’s expectations. Revisions, Changes and Misses Just like everywhere else, an attempt doesn’t always bring success. A rock may be misidentified, a report may leave out important information or what the Scout did may not be what the requirement asked. If this happens, the Scout may make arrangements with their instructor to see what can be done to complete the requirement or receive a partial record of completion if the requirement cannot be met within the 1-week duration. |
