Scouts, the troop has counselors for many of the merit badges, including most of the Eagle required merit badges.  Scouts who are interested in working on a badge should inform the Scoutmaster who will locate a counselor to determine if the badge can be taught in a meeting or campout setting.   If a particular badge is not available to be taught in an upcoming meeting or campout, a Scout or group of Scouts may work with a counselor directly.  Please click here to see the most recent update of the Troop 1324 Merit Badge Counselor list.

Congratulations to all Scouts and Adult Leaders for following the "Journey to Excellence" and earning the Gold Award for 2012!  In order to qualify for this award a troop must meet various performance criteria in areas such as advancement, retention, recruitment, camping, leader training, and service.  This award could not have been earned without the Scouts diligently learning skills, providing service, applying leadership, and advancing in rank.  Specials thanks to Pam Burleigh for pulling together the JTE application.
