MERIT BADGE CLASS LIST MERIT BADGE PREREQUISITS 

The Texas Skies District 2012 Merit Badge Fair will be held on Saturday, March 3, 2012.  Pre-registration is required, and classes will run from 9:00 – 12:00, and from 1:00 – 4:00.  Most classes are three hours long, so that scouts will usually be able to take two merit badges. Registration fee is $5, which covers registration and a participation patch.  Extra fees may apply to some classes to cover supply costs, which will be provided on the prerequisite form on the Inteliscout registration site.  Each scout needs to bring $5 cash for lunch, which will include either pizza or hotdog, plus chips, cookie and a drink.  Additional snacks will be available for purchase, so bring extra cash.

The following items are required for each scout that participates:

  1. Class A uniform.
  2. Scouts must read the merit badge book for each assigned merit badge.
  3. Scouts to bring completed prerequisites and/or documentation to class.
  4. Troop to provide to each scout a blue card for each class the scout attends.
  5. Troop to provide one leader to check-in entire troop – must provide a current medical form for each scout that attends.  Troops may prefer to bring a medical form binder and leave it at the check-in desk during the event, and pick it up at the end.  Otherwise, they need to bring a copy of each scout’s form.  No scout is allowed to stay at the Fair without a current medical form on file.
  6. Scouts must qualify for the badges they sign up for – some badges have age or rank requirements.
