Please see Mr. Phelan in advance for a blue card, which you are required to bring with you. Also be sure to review the requirements and the prerequisites and “be prepared.” If you have a partial from a prior week at summer camp, you can finish off that partially-completed badge at the Troop 22 merit badge seminar as well.
