Please select summer camp merit badges by first meeting in April

Due to the fact that the troop will be working with pack 4468 at the second meeting in April, please have your merit badge choices to Mr. Voelker BY OR AT THE FIRST MEETING IN APRIL.

We will take a little time at the start of the meeting to answer any remaining questions about the merit badge process. Boys who have been to camp before should know what’s going on already and can also help out.

Summer Camp Merit Badge Signup Info


Camp Tesomas offers many different advancement opportunities as well as activities for older scouts. Please look all the information over carefully and decide by the FIRST TROOP MEETING IN APRIL what you would like to sign up for.

Look under “Tesomas Documents” on the right hand side for more information.

EAGLE QUEST – FIRST YEAR SCOUTS. It is highly recommended that all first-year scouts participate in the “Eagle Quest” program. This covers many of the rank requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class rank. Scouts can also do the Basketry and/or Fingerprinting merit badges if they wish.

EAGLE QUEST – OTHER SCOUTS. If you are missing a few items to advance in rank, you can go to the “Open” session at the Eagle Quest area, from 3:30-5:00pm each day after your merit badges (no need to register now).

MERIT BADGES. A full list of available merit badges is available on the blog. Please pay attention to any starting requirements and prerequisites and have these done BEFORE you come to camp. Otherwise, you will NOT complete the badge at camp.


MICRO-TREKS – OLDER SCOUTS.  Scouts who are 13 and older and who do not wish to take merit badges can register for different “trek” programs. These run for the entire week. An additional fee is required. If you are interested, please let me know ASAP as registration is open now and treks are limited to 10 scouts.
