For those scouts that can't make this Friday (9/16) Personal Fitness Merit Badge session there will be a second opportunity on Sunday September 18th at 11:00AM. We will meet at the McKelvie running track. All scouts who started their programs in June, and followed the programs without interruption, are now eligible to take the final test - provided you have completed and documented your 12 week fitness program. This means you must have a completed worksheet! The worksheet should explain in detail what you did over the 12 week period. It should include exercises for strength (legs, arms, chest and stomach), cardiovascular endurance and flexibility. If you didn't include all three areas then you have not completed the merit badge 12 week fitness requirement.
There will be an opportunity to earn the Eagle required Personal Management Merit Badge. The group will get started a week or so after the winter break at a time and place to be determined. This merit badge covers topics such as budgeting money and time, stocks/bonds and other investments, risk, return on investment, credit scores, buyers remorse etc. The merit badge is open to all scouts but the material is complex and younger scouts may struggle with the concepts.
Scouts – Beginning December 5th I will begin working with Scouts who wish to pursue the Personal Management Merit Badge. If you would like to be in the group and you have the First Class Rank or higher: (1) please email me by November 30th providing me the best email address to use to reach you – my email address is: michaelaverill@hotmail.com; (2) plan on meeting (as a group) beginning at 6:00 PM at BPC on the 5th; and (3) print out and bring to the meeting on the 5th the Personal Management Workbook. At the meeting on the 5th we will review what you will need to do to complete the requirements for this Merit Badge and set out a timeline to do so.
This announcement is for any scout interested in getting started on the Personal Management merit badge. This merit badge takes a minimum of 12 weeks of activity to complete. This merit badge will introduce you to the topics of stocks, bonds, credit cards, credit scores, interest rate, buyer's remorse, budgeting your money and risk. Mastering these skills is a requirement to become an Eagle and might lead to significant wealth and prosperity. The following scout alumni - Michael Bloomberg, Steven Spielberg, J. Willard Marriott, Ross Perot, Stephen Bechtel, Charles Dolan - have done quite well after using the knowledge obtained in this merit badge .
