2. Scouts must bring appropriate proof of completion of all prerequisites and be prepared to discuss, report, and demonstrate all prerequisites.
3. One Merit Badge per Scout per day.
4. Each Scout must complete all prerequisites before class. If any prerequisites ask for written work, drawings, etc, you must bring it to the class to show to your merit badge counselor. To be unprepared is not fair to those who have prepared and to the Counselors reviewing the subjects.  Remember, Merit Badges are EARNED, not given out!
