Merit Badge Procedure

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed a lot in Scouting and everything else. We are no longer using the blue merit badge cards. Click on the link below for how to earn merit badges:

At this point everyone should be staying home.  Of course this makes most Scouting activities unavailable, but there are a few things Scouts can do while at or around their homes: 

Start with this webpage, which details what can be done without leaving your house:

General Information

Troop 25 normally meets Thursdays from 7:30PM to 9:00PM in Suffern Middle School Cafeteria, but due to the Covid pandemic these meetings are suspended.  We are looking at alternate places to meet after Nov 1st when daylight savings time ends making evening outdoor meetings infeasible.  Stay tuned!  If you don't see an email please check this website.

Note: for all trips we need to have firm commitments no later than 2 weeks in advance of the trip. Unfortunately we cannot wait until the last minute to find out who is and who is not going. Please decide with your son well in advance and let us know if he is going so we can make plans for food, transportation, etc. Remember adults always welcomed on our trips.
