(From Dr. Claire Kaufman)
Hello Troop 149 Scouts,
I will be offering the Family Life Merit Badge for Troop 149. See below for sign up instructions. The first meeting will be 6:30pm, Monday, December 2, before the troop meeting.
The goal of this merit badge is to understand:
Your role in your family
How to strengthen your family
How to effectively explain and discuss:
How the actions of one family member can affect other members
How to conduct a family meeting
What makes an effective father and why
The requirements involve having meetings with your family to discuss topics that can affect your family; planning and doing a project by yourself for your family and a project with your family; and keeping track of your chores for 90 days. There will only be 3 group meetings, with the rest of the requirements done at home.
Because this is an Eagle Scout-required merit badge, priority will be given to more advanced scouts. The group size will be capped at 12 scouts.
To Sign Up: Email me at 703clairekb@gmail.com (NOT to the troop email) no later than November 24, with your name and rank. Remember to include another adult on your email. Scouts will be notified on Nov. 25, about whether or not they will be part of the group for this year. Never fear, this merit badge will be offered again next year and hopefully every year.
The requirements and workbook can be found at:
