Hey Scouts,

My dad and I found some great videos and created links for you.

These videos are for 2nd Class and First Class requirements.

We did not forget the adult leaders.  There are some great videos for them too.  Well, My dad thinks so.

Check them out.  Click on "Links" under the "Menu" scetion to the left.  Then look in this folder:  Youth and Adult Training Videos - 2013"

Badges in green are Eagle-required, while those in yellow are new (December 2009 or earlier):

Hi All,

If you are interested in working on your Railroad Merit Badge, Clark's Trading Post has two special days for you to work on it along with a special price for attending for the day.  You can choose which day you want to work on it and you can go with your parents.  You can go on either June 2nd or June 22nd.  You do need to get requirements one, two and three done ahead of time.  I (Mrs. Eno) am a Railroad Merit Badge Councilor and am willing to help you with them.  Clark's Trading Post will have a BSA certified Rialroad merit badge councilor there to sign everything off for you.

Please get your blue card from Mr. Belanger and see me so that I know that you are interested.  You also need to give me a check for $15 per person for those who will be going with you along with the date you plan on going by May 16th.

Scouts need to get to and from Clarks on your own (i.e. with your parent(s)).  I am only pre-registering you.
