March 25th - Communications Merit Badge

This Wednesday we will be working on our Communications merit badge. Please bring your worksheets. If you don't have your worksheet for any reason, click on the link to the right and print one out. Look over your worksheet beforehand, because there may some some requirements that you need to do on your own. Bro. Powell will not be there. Bro. Deppermann is the counselor for this merit badge, so he will be there to help you. Keep track of what you work on so we can have a blue card filled out with what you have accomplished.

Klondike Revisited

Here are some more pictures of the Klondike in case you've been really missing the snow.

March 11th - Art and Sculpture Pass-Off

This Wednesday the counselor for the Art and Sculpture Merit badges will be coming. We want to have all of the requirements finished so that you can each pass off both of these merit badges. The scouts that are prepared will be meeting with Mr. Flagg first and the rest will be lining up for their partials. Any scout who has not completed all requirements by tomorrow night will be responsible to arrange to meet with Mr. Flagg on your own time. Please bring all of your pictures and it would be a good idea to bring your completed merit badge worksheets. (If you can't find yours there are links on the sidebar that you can reprint them.) I will be bringing my computer to show the pictures of the sculptures that you created.

The Communications Merit Badge is the next one on the list, so we will be working on that one while each of you are meeting with Mr. Flagg. So please print off a copy of the Communications worksheet and bring that as well.

I will be getting a headcount of who is coming to the campout so that we can arrange for rides. Please discuss with your parents beforehand so that we can make the necessary plans. See you Wednesday!

Pictures from Art Merit Badge

Here are the renderings that the boys came up with while we were working on the Art Merit Badge.

Pictures from Sculpture Merit Badge

This is what the scouts came up with to satisfy the first part of requirement #2A. Model in clay a life-sized human head. Then sculpt in modeling clay or carve/rasp in wood or soft stone a small-scale model of an animal or person. Explain to your counselor the method and tools you used to sculpt the figure.
