Merit Badge Outline For
| Introduction | Introduction Your challenge as a summer camp merit badge counselor is to see that the Scouts who attend your session have the best opportunity to learn about Indian lore. This may be the first merit badge on which the Scouts will be working. It is important that they have a positive experience. This lesson plan is designed to help you plan a logical, high-quality program. You may have to use a slightly different approach in presenting the material based on your camp resources and facilities. Sign off on the requirements as the Scouts complete them. |
| Resources | Several requirements in this merit badge involve writing; school is out for the summer, so be creative on how Scouts can share the necessary information in those requirements. Be sure to utilize all the resources available to you. |
