| 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 metalworking. It is important that they have a positive experience. This lesson plan is designed to help you plan a logical, high quality program experience. You may have to use a slightly different approach in presenting the material based on your camp resources and facilities. Sign off Scouts as they complete their requirements. |
| Resources | Be sure to utilize all the resources available to you. There are several organizations that can help you demonstrate proper metalworking techniques. Utilize these resources. |
