If your troop goes to summer camp you will have several merit badges that
for some reason were not finished. It could be that the scout did not
participate or the camp was offering a merit badge that could not be
completed at camp if you followed the requirements properly (like Climbing
MB and the camp offers no climbing surfaces other than a Wood tower!).
Our troop dedicates 1 or 2 campouts and allows 60 days to complete all
Summer Camp Merit badges. We assign several leaders to help and work with
the scouts to complete the requirements properly. I have be assigned the
Camping MB this year to help 4 scouts complete the overnight part of the
requirement.
About the only MB that we are not able to complete is the Metal Crafting MB,
and the 3 scouts that signed up on the last day of camp (As a extra MB) for
this MB understand.
This year we took 38 scouts (17 were first year campers) and the earned 127
MB's completed 353 rank requirements and we have 36 partial or uncompleted
MB's, we had a very productive camp!
