Scouts: How to Prepare a Merit Badge Blue Card
- Scout selects a Merit Badge (see Difficulty, BSA Merit Badge Information)
- Scout must obtain a Blue Card from the Scoutmaster when commencing work on a merit badge.
- The card is double sided. Scout completes in ink the information highlighted in yellow. Please print neatly and fill out your parts completely.
- Scout turns in the entire card to the merit badge counselor.
- After the merit badge requirements have been completed by the Scout, the merit badge counselor will sign the Unit's Record and Applicant's Record portions and retain the Counselor's record.
- Scout turns in both Applicant's Record and Unit's Record to the Advancement Chairperson.
- The Advancement Chairperson processes the Merit Badge Application with the
Orange County counsel office. When the Scout is awarded his Merit Badge
patch, the "Applicant's Record" and the "Merit Badge Certification" card is
provided to the scout at the Court of Honor.
- Scout saves his blue Applicant's Record along with the
MB certification card. When a scout is ready to earn rank of Eagle, he must
have all of this MB cards available for review in date order. Best that they
be kept in plastic page protectors designed for this such as those used for
collecting baseball cards.
