    Notes on Merit Badge Programs: Our instructors are registered merit badge counselors and will be able to sign blue cards at the completion of the program. Many badges, however, require scouts to make long-term observations or to pursue knowledge or skills that may not be possible due to time constraints. Therefore, for many of our merit badge programs, scouts will be required to complete certain requirements prior to the start of the program in order to have their blue cards signed.
