Self-Study Class


Troop 37 has used resources from Edmond Historical Society to complete the Emergency Preparedness Merit Badge through self-study and independent activities.
You can purchase their kit containing education materials, videos, and response worksheets at their website.
The standard kit includes PDF and PowerPoint materials. 
​
  • For scouts using Chromebooks issued by school, you will be able to view the material but you will not be able to edit and save the PDF files (doesn't work using the PDF plug-in for Chrome and you cannot install Adobe).
  • In that case, you will need to use the Google Doc in Step 5 for your responses. 
  • If you are using your own computer with Adobe, you may be able to edit directly in the presentation you download in Step 4..
  • TEST SAVING YOUR EDITS at the very beginning so you don't risk losing your work.

You can connect on Scoutbook with one of these merit badge counselors. They will approve your merit badge requirements electronically in Scoutbook.
  • Richelle Mitchem, BSA ID 12666760: Scout Programs Coordinator
  • Anna Studstill, BSA ID 13626944
