Merit Badge Counselors (MBC) - are required to be approved by the District Advancement Committee. ALL MBC for the Orion District are required to complete the "Merit Badge Counselor Information Sheet" and a "Adult Leader's Application", indicating "42" in the Position Description Box. Please note that MBC status should be updated annually, just like your Unit Recharter. On the Information Sheet please CLEARLY PRINT all information specified identifying the Merit Badge(s) you will be a Counselor. Also, please provide your e-mail address, Unit affiliation(s), and whether you wish to work with your Unit only or other Units in the Orion District. Please place a note identifying that it is OK to publish information identifying you as an MBC.

I would like to have Units identify the Merit Badge(s) that they will be presenting to their Unit and recommend and encourage the Unit to invite Scouts from other Units in the Orion District to participate with your Unit.

Eagle Projects reviews will be conducted at Roundtable. The "Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project Workbook" (Form 512-927), must be used. You can download the form from http://www.NESA.org.
