1 High Trail District Merit Badge Academy 2018 Saturday, 2/3/17, 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Summit Lakes Middle School 3500 Windemere Dr., Lee s Summit, MO Important Details Registrations will only be accepted online. Go to the hoac-bsa.org website and select the following links: Districts High Trail Activities and Camping. Registrations will be accepted until 1/2/18 or until the MBA is full. Classes will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Be advised that the MBA fills up early. Class sizes are limited. Absolutely NO WALKINS the day of the event!!! Scouts previously not registered will NOT be allowed to take the place of other scout participants not in attendance that day. Cost: $9.00 (includes event patch) Scouts may take up to three classes except in the case of Emergency Preparedness, Aviation, and First Aid (three-hour classes) which limit a scout to two classes. Prerequisites: A scout must bring to class and have read a copy of the merit badge book current as of October, He should be prepared to discuss its contents. All classes also have prerequisites that must be done before attending class if a scout hopes to complete the badge at the MBA. See the attached information for a list of classes and prerequisites. This year s MBA features ten Eagle-required badges and twenty-six other badges for a total of thirty-six. New offerings this year include Programming and Cooking. Scouts taking Model Design and Building will need to bring $6 in exact change to purchase a model being provided by the counselor. Please also note: requirement 5d is a "post-requisite" in that, after doing the classwork, the scout will have to arrange to meet with the counselor at a later date to complete requirement 5d. All registrations must be made online by your designated unit representative, not individually. Allow two weeks after MBA for processing of Merit Badge Cards. Please do not plan a Court of Honor for less than two weeks after the MBA. MBA Committee: Amanda Davis (Assistant Registrar), Jason Davis (Assistant Chair), Ken Fuenfhausen, (Chair), Teresa Fuenfhausen (Event Assistant), John Monson (Registrar), Herb Myers (Assistant Registrar) For questions regarding the MBA in general: Ken Fuenfhausen, , , or MeritBadgeAcademy@yahoo.com For registration questions: John Monson, registrar@mb-academy.org Enclosed: Class Offerings/Prerequisites, Registration Worksheet, Staff Registration Form, First Year Scouts, Special Notes.

2 High Trail District Merit Badge Academy Regarding First Year Scouts First year scouts--including those who have moved from a pack to a troop before February 1 and are registered as Boy Scouts--are welcome to attend the MBA. However, we'd suggest a few ideas to help your new scouts succeed. Be sure they get their pre-requisites done ahead of time when possible. Possibly use some troop meeting time for this. Though they are welcome at all badges (other than those reserved for Star Scouts and above), we'd recommend the following badges which are less demanding and, therefore, give new scouts a better chance of completing their badges: Traffic Safety, Fire Safety, Fingerprinting, and Plumbing. Please discourage your first year scouts from taking required badges. If a boy has only been a scout a sort time, he really isn't ready to tackle a required badge and still get out of it what he should. Please help first year scouts understand that, regarding prerequisite work, scouts cannot run off a bunch of internet materials and hand it in as their own work. Their prerequisite work must be in their own words (preferably handwritten). It does them no good to run off someone else s work, possibly not even reading and understanding it. Internet material will not be accepted. Help first year scouts properly write up their prerequisite work. Remember: Webelos Scouts cannot earn Boy Scout Merit Badges. Only registered Boy Scouts can attend the MBA.

3 High Trail District Merit Badge Academy Special Notes Regarding Prerequisites and Merit Badge Books Since this registration packet is being distributed in October, the prerequisites listed are based upon the requirements current as of October, Some years a problem arises in that, occasionally, the requirements for a badge will be changed by national after our registration has begun. If a scout waits to purchase the books he needs, he takes the risk of having newer requirements from a newly published book which will not be the standard for the day. He could show up in class with the wrong prerequisites accomplished as those in this packet are based on the requirements as of this printing, October Please be sure this doesn t happen with your scouts. Register early and then purchase the books ASAP. This way we avoid frustration for the scouts and our counselors. If a scout comes to class with the wrong book, he ll fail to complete the badge that day. On another note, we d strongly suggest using some troop meeting time to help your scouts complete prerequisites where possible. Only one third of scouts who attend the MBA walk out with completed badges that day due to a lack of prerequisite work. Finally, scouts doing prerequisite work cannot run off internet material and hand it in as their own work. Their prerequisite work must be in their own words (preferably handwritten). It does them no good to run off someone else s work, possibly not even reading and understanding it. Internet material will not be accepted. Help your scouts succeed by being prepared!
