Merit Badge Prerequisites
The merit badge program at RSR is specifically designed to reflect the outdoor experience of camp. As a result, nearly all merit badges offered may be completed entirely at camp. In some cases, however, a requirement may be more easily or necessarily completed at home. In such cases the Scout is asked to bring evidence of completion for review by his merit badge counselor.
The 2016 Merit Badge Prerequisites list may be found here.
Please note, for participants attending STEM Week, that there is a pre-requisite to Energy Merit Badge. Requirement #4 requires the Scout to conduct a 14 day energy audit of his home. Full details of the requirement are available here. This requirement must be completed prior to camp or the Scout will not be able to complete the badge while in camp.
