Need to complete requirement 5 of the First Class Rank? Here's your opportunity!

If your scout needs to complete requirement 5 of the First Class Rank (and about 6-8 of our scouts do) then please take advantage of this opportunity.

Judge Mertz has agreed to meet with the scouts on Monday Oct 5th at 3:30 pm at the county courthouse.  He has court scheduled to run until 3:30 and will meet with the scouts after that.  The scouts are welcome to sit in the court room and quietly observe until the session is completed.  Mr. Reynolds will meet the scouts at the courthouse at approx. 3:15. Please wear your Class A uniform and be on your best behavior.  Plan to shake hands, introduce yourself and during the meeting ask the Judge a question.  It does not meet the requirement if your scout simply is an observer, he must be a part of the conversation. Notice the word "discuss" in the description.

The requirement is as follows: Visit and discuss with a selected individual approved by your leader (elected official, judge, attorney, civil servant, principal, teacher) your constitutional rights and obligations as a U.S. citizen.

Please make sure to thank Mr. Reynolds for this opportunity.


If you are unable to attend on this date, you may schedule your own meeting.  Please make sure it is someone you haven’t met before, so that you can learn and grow from this meeting.  Make sure your scoutmaster approves your choice before you meet.
