TROOP 137

CITIZENSHIP IN THE WORLD

This site was designed as a resource for Scouts in Troop 137 working on the Citizenship in the World merit badge. Citizenship in the World is Eagle required and is one of the most academic and challenging merit badges. It will take some time and effort, but Scouts should be able to complete the badge using the information in the BSA Merit Badge booklet and this site.

Scouts from other Troops are welcome to use the site as well, in conjunction with a BSA-registered counselor.

 
To Get Started

1. E-mail me (carleton@mtsu.edu) and let me know that you are starting to work on your Citizenship in the World Merit Badge. IMPORTANT: Scouts must be at least First Class to complete this Merit Badge.

2. Pick up a copy of the BSA Citizenship in the World Merit Badge booklet. This site supplements the information in the booklet—you will need both the booklet and this site to complete the work.

3. Print out a copy of the Citizenship in the World Worksheet. You will record your information and get the requirements signed off in this Workbook.

4. Begin working through the seven requirements:

-    each requirement has a separate page—simply use the buttons at the top of this page to choose the requirement you want to work on

-    each page begins by pointing out the section in the BSA Citizenship in the World Merit Badge booklet that corresponds to the requirement— begin by reading these pages

-    then work through the information and links provided

-    finally, record your answers on the Worksheet

-   as is noted at the top of the Worksheet, you are asked to meet with me and discuss the concepts once after completing requirements 1+2, once after completing requirements 3+4, and once after completing requirements 5 to 7 (simply email me or talk to me at the Barn when you are ready for these informal discussions)

  
Questions?

At any time, if you have questions about the requirements or about the issues raised, you can either email me or catch me at the Barn.

So, if you aren’t sure what is expected or being asked in a particular requirement, or you are having trouble locating some of the needed materials, or you are confused about some of the concepts, or you just want to discuss the concepts, please ask.

 
Feedback

Feedback is welcome. If you find broken links, or have advice on things that ought to be added, removed, or amended, please let me know— carleton@mtsu.edu.
