I have a question on a recent case.
I am the Committee Chair and the other night a scout brought four of
his Eagle requirement merit badges and his project completion to be
signed off. This meeting was 48 hours before his 18th birthday.
The C. in Nation and E. Prep merit badges were partials where he
lacked one requirement. The other two, Family Life and Personal
Mangement had never been reviewed before.
For Family Life he had done cleaning around the house for his project.
The merit badge counselor thought there needed to be more thought and
would like to have pre-approved the project. There had been no
discussion with this boy from the time he started until this night. He
was told to do a different family project and contact the counselor
again.
For Personnel Management he used the forms from
MeritBadge.Org and
filled them out and brought them in as his proof of completion. I had
the papers review by two merit badge counselor for the badge and
neither one would sign off on the badge without several meetings. Both
thought he needed to redo his 90 day budget.
