Venturer vs Troop Merit Badge & Advancement


Recommended Posts

Dianna,

Sorry. I'm not trying to hijack the thread. I have a minor clarification to my question for CNY. Then if I have to, I'll spin off a new thread.

 

CNY, when you start Venturing you earn a Bronze Award. Does this first BA count for the Gold requirement (double dipping), or do you need to earn one of the other BA's for your GA?

Yes, the first Bronze award counts towards the Gold Award.

 

One of the requirements to earn the Gold Award is to earn any one of the Bronze Award, so it is not double dipping.

 

To simplify these awards:

A Venturer would earn a Bronze Award

Gold Award = Bronze + other requirements

Silver Award = Gold Award + other requirements

 

To earn the Silver award a Venturer would only have to earn one Bronze Award.

 

They can also use this same Bronze award towards a higher award.

So, if a venturer earns the Outdoor Bronze it can be used for both the Gold Award and the Ranger Award.(This message has been edited by CNYScouter)
