If you are already a counselor, I will send a separate email with instructions. I am checking the Merit Badge Listing which was updated July 2015 and there are some of our parents, and ASM's that are no longer on the list which may mean you need to recertify or you have graciously chosen to withdraw your name from the list (either way I will verify with individual parents Who: Parents What: Merit Badge Counselor/Lock-In Meeting Where: JLC When: Sun, 23 Aug, 7:15 (During Scout Meeting) POC: Mrs. Strickland and Mrs. Rivera-Murray Please respond to this email if you cannot attend the meeting so we don't miss the opportunity to share your talent with our scouts.
