How to Successfully Earn a Merit Badge at our Events

To get the most out of our Merit Badge Events, please become familiar with the merit badge  requirements and be ready to discuss with the counselor. If the counselor sends out a list of pre-reqs for you to do ahead of time, try your best to complete them before the clinic, workshop, or fair. In many cases, there are requirements that cannot be done in a clinic, workshop, or fair setting. You can either bring documentation or notes showing previous work to show the counselor at the end of the session. Otherwise, Scouts should expect to get a partial at the end, and the counselor will have further advice on how to get the rest of the requirements signed off. You may schedule follow up meetings with the counselor at your convenience.

Lake Trails Merit Badge Clinics Overhaul 

We’re overhauling the way we do our clinics for 2026, and our Jan 10th Citizenship in the Community MB clinic will be our last free Lake Trails monthly Merit Badge clinic. Instead, we are going to test out two Spring Merit Badge mini-fairs at a new South Bellevue location. This new format will allow Scouts to have multiple Eagle-required and general interest merit badge options to choose from instead of a single Eagle-required merit badge.

Do you love our monthly Lake Trails Merit Badge Clinics and would like them to continue alongside our new Merit Badge mini-fairs? Please contact Florence at ftbaluyotmbc@gmail.com to volunteer or learn more about how to lead the monthly clinics. She would love to co-chair the Lake Trails Merit Badge Clinic Coordinator role with you!
