Provided that the Scout has an application for a merit badge (blue card) that has been signed by the appropriate leader in his troop, has the name of a registered merit badge counselor given to him by his troop, and the blue card is signed as complete by that merit badge counselor, the answer is “NO”. The merit badge counselor is responsible for monitoring the Scout’s work and approving it when he/she feels all the requirements have been completed.
