Merit Badge Prerequisites

Pre-MBM requirements for each merit badge class are listed with the class description below. 

Scouts MUST complete ALL merit badge pre-requisite requirements. Scouts are expected to read the Merit Badge Pamphlet and make notes in the CR MBM Workbook BEFORE the MBM class. Otherwise, Scouts will ONLY receive a partial completion for the merit badge.  

Scouts MUST bring their completed MB Workbook; a Merit Badge Blue Card(s) signed by unit leader for each merit badge; and bring any pre-MBM requirement materials or evidence of their work with them to MBM. 

All Scouts (including Webelos who recently crossed over to Boy Scouts) must be registered in a Scouts BSA unit in order to earn Boy Scout requirements for advancement. You may turn in new Scouts BSA applications at MBM event.

MBM Specific Workbooks

Merit Badge Workbooks, which are specific to the 2019 Crow River MBM class offerings, can be down loaded from the Crow River District web site. Make sure you download and print the correct 2019 CR MBM Workbook.
