What e-mail address can I send suggested Merit Badge book changes to?
(Jack Boeldt, Crossroads of America Council, Indianapolis, IN) On the Law and any other Merit Badge, for that matter, you do realize that it’s perfectly OK for a Counselor to go beyond what’s in the pamphletand that would, of course, include acquainting Scouts with issues related to juvenile law as well as any other aspects the Counselor, through his or her knowledge and experience, chooses to impart to the Scouts he or she counsels. The only point to keep in mind is that additional learnings shouldn’t turn into “additional requirements”you need to stick to the requirements, exactly as written, without adding or subtracting. If you have specific thoughts regarding improvement of this or any other Merit Badge, the best thing to do, I’m guessing, is to write directly to the Boy Scout Division-BSA, in Irving, Texas. Your Council service center can give you the exact address. Hi Andy, Thanks for all the great information and hard work it must take to keep “Ask Andy” going. It’s a must read
