Schedule:

I will be offerig Citizenship in Society Merit Badge too T82 and T5014 Wed Oct 5th and WedOct 12 durring T82 meeting 6:30-8:00 PM.

Because this is 3hrs there zre numerous pre-requisits scouts need to do before Oct. All scouts must independently submitt proof that the prerequisits are done. Below is a Documnets you can use. Again we will not have the time to individually go through everyones pre-requisits as a group so each scout must individually submitt proof that the pre-requisits were done

Pre-requisites can be marked as GROUP/INDIVIDUAL or INDIVIDUAL ONLY. The difference is GROUP work can be done as groups and the answers for different scouts can e the same. Scouts still need to individually submit work. For instance , multiple scouts can have the same definitions for Requirement 1. Either because they worked in a group or researched terms from my power points. EACH Scout still needs to submit proof they did the requirement individually. INDIVIDUAL ONLY are requirements that need to be done individually. For instance reguirement 7 & 8. Each cout needs to independently research a person and event. While scouts may pick the same person and event research and documentation need to be done individually.
