Re: Parents as MB Counselors

I would tend to agree, as a general policy, it is best for a Scout to
see someone other than a parent for a merit badge. Part of the value of
the merit badge program is for the Scout to gain the experience of
having to pass requirements and deadlines for someone other than a
friend/relative. There can be exceptions, however.

I can honestly say that the hardest merit badge I earned was Personal
Management, from my father. After all, there was no way I could "fudge"
that budget! ;-)
