This day is intended to get a boy started on three merit badges while learning a little about CTC and its programs. It is recommended that scouts download, print and bring with them the merit badge worksheets from http://www.usscouts.org/ for badges they wish to work on. Fill out ahead of time anything that you can on the worksheet!
