More #shorts. I did not see this merit badge video 😊

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

I mentioned it during a status update but did not make a video for it.

[@BlueWhaleLord]

Hello Eagle Scout Mac Guzman. Are you posting shorts now?

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Yes. I list my monitization because I did not post in 6 months. Now I need 4k watch hours again. Almost there 😀

Thanks

[@MacGuzman]

This is a good merit badge to do using school work 😜

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

It really is! Thanks other me🤣

[@Kids-Cook]

I do not remember this merit badge video.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

I never made it! It was a portion of my Oct 2020 Status Update.

[@lucypogcute]

Any recomendations for mb’s to do at camps and what to do at home?

[@L0CV5T]

Go for a mix of important stuff and fun stuff, summer camps are a great place to get important things done because you are in one place for a week. Home is all up to you, just dont let up. You know what you need to do, just go and get it

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

First Aid and Swimming were the first Merit Badges I completed at camp. Swimming kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnXOlXqim9Z-fKs First Aid kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH-xcpton8t3kK8

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Great advice. You can start some Eagle required MBs like Cooking that you will not finish at camp but get a good portion done.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

LucyPogCute, also ask for a list of prerequisites (requirements they are not going over) for each Merit Badge. Printout the workbook from www.usscouts.org and complete those requirements. Bring the workbooks to camp and show the Merit Badge Counselor on day 1. The MBC should give you credit. If not, you will leave camp with a partial and have the workbook completed to show any registered MBC. Have fun.
