Eagle Court of Honor (Note that date moved up to August 11 from the 18). Cutoff for recognition remains August 4th for the bulletin to be printed and awards purchased.
Parents of those working on Scout or Star ranks. Your scouts have a requirement which must have your involvement. “With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide and view the Personal Safety Awareness videos (with your parent or guardian’s permission).” The first item is a pamphlet found in the front of the scout handbook (or here). The second is on Scouting America. To communicate this completion, just sign and date the front cover of the pamphlet (or send a written message if it is missing).
Merit Badge Assistance can be found at https://www.scouting.org/skills/merit-badges/
Digital Resource Guides support efforts towards requirements and foster self-paced learning experience with interactive content. Very helpful to help guide learning to finish off merit badges from MBU and summer camp.
