How To Get Family Life Merit Badge

Hey guys, Mac Guzman here. This video is how to get the Family Life Merit Badge. This merit badge is not very hard, its only difficulty is keeping on track with the different requirements. Be sure to stay active in logging your 90 days during requirement 3.
What effect do chores have on a family? How do actions of one member affect other members? Make sure to be in an ideal setting for req 6 family discussion.
I hope this video has been helpful in getting the Family Life Merit Badge.
Family Life Requirements:
1. Prepare an outline on what a family is and discuss this with your merit badge counselor. Tell why families are important to individuals and to society. Discuss how the actions of one member can affect other members.
2. List several reasons why you are important to your family and discuss this with your parents or guardians and with your merit badge counselor.
3. Prepare a list of your regular home duties or chores (at least five) and do them for 90 days. Keep a record of how often you do each of them. Discuss with your counselor the effect your chores had on your family.
4. With the approval of your parents or guardians and your merit badge counselor, decide on and carry out a project that you would do around the home that would benefit your family. Submit a report to your merit badge counselor outlining how the project benefited your family.
5. Plan and carry out a project that involves the participation of your family. After completing the project, discuss the following with your merit badge. counselor:
a. The objective or goal of the project
b. How individual members of your family participated
c. The results of the project
6. Do the following:
a. Discuss with your merit badge counselor how to plan and carry out a family meeting.
b. After this discussion, plan and carry out a family meeting* to include the following subjects:
1. Avoiding substance abuse, including tobacco, alcohol, and drugs, all of which negatively affect your health and well-being
2. Understanding the growing-up process and how the body changes, and making responsible decisions dealing with sex
3. How your chores in requirement 3 contributed to your role in the family
4. Personal and family finances
5. A crisis situation within your family
6. The effect of technology on your family
7. Good etiquette and manners
Discussion of each of these subjects will very likely carry over to more than one family meeting.
7. Discuss with your counselor your understanding of what makes an effective parent and why, and your thoughts on the parent's role and responsibilities in the family.
*This conversation may take place with only one or both of your parents or guardians.

Wassup my dude. I am life scout and this is the merit badge that I have postponed the most because it takes so long and requires so much work lol

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Stay on top of the Eagle Required that have 3-4 month minimum logging time

[@masonjones421]

I love ur video please don't stop making them

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Thanks. That feels greet to know people appreciate the videos. I like making them because it forces me to learn the requirements and Merit Badges on a higher level. For instance, the Fingerprinting MB took less time to earn than the video did to make kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ-VnoiHg7CLbZo

Your music always makes me feel like Scout stuff is happening. Where did you get it?

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

I used it on my first BSA video last year. It’s called “Batuque Bom" by Quincas Moreira which is free from KZbin Audio Library.

[@tomlucia6143]

its not what badge you earn ..its whether you carry that interest into adult life

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

True.

[@polaris.wesche]

I’m a Tenderfoot scout my troop has a girl troop.

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

Tessie Adeline that’s great! Do you have any questions or need help with anything in Scouts?

[@polaris.wesche]

Eagle Scout Mac Guzman I do! How would I explain the top question on page 5 to my parents?

[@EagleScoutMacGuzman]

I suppose you mean question 6.b2. According to the requirement, you do not have to Include the rest of your family. I recommend you just read the requirement to your parents and let them talk.
