Scouts should be sure to complete any necessary pre-requisite requirements before coming to camp. These requirements are listed in parenthesis next to the badge name below. Due to the nature of some requirements, and the limitations of the summer camp setting, the listed requirements will not be completed in the merit badge classes. In many cases a signed note from a Scout leader is sufficient to show proof of a pre-requisite. Please be sure to complete all pre-requisites prior to coming to camp to ensure a completed merit badge at the end of the week.
Some badges, particularly those in the HandiCraft and Shooting Sports areas, may have additional costs associated with the class. Craft kits, shooting tickets, or other necessary items are sold in the trading post. Approximate costs for the materials needed for each badge are also listed here. Scoutmasters and unit leaders should guide Scouts in their merit badge selections. The Camp Minsi 2012 - Merit Badge Guide provides Scouts with more information on the merit badge programs - including meeting times, class descriptions, and other important notes on each badge.
