South Mountain / Gila River Advancement Days

The Sout Mountain and Gila River districts hold three merit badge advancement days yearly. They are held on the 1st Saturday in December, and the 1st & 4th Saturdays in June.

Scouts must have a Blue Card signed by their Scoutmaster (Unit Leader) in order to participate in any merit badge class.

Scouts must bring proof of completion of prerequisites in order to get merit badge counselor sign off for each prerequisite.   Where physical proof is not possible, scouts must have a signed letter of completion from their Scoutmaster (Unit Leader).  Simply telling the merit badge counselor they have completed a requirement, is unacceptable.

Finally please know, Scouts can participate in a class even if they have not completed the prerequisites.  Therefore, they can finish the remaining requirements at a later date, and connect with the merit badge counselor when they do so, in order to get final sign off.
