Merit Badge Pre-Requisites
In order to successfully complete come merit badges at camp, it is necessary to complete some pre-requisites before arrival at camp, otherwise you will only be able to obtain a ‘partial’ at Camp Hahobas.
If there’s a Merit Badge on the list that you don’t see on the
list let us know and we’ll do our best to find an instructor.
This merit badge list is current
with the 2010 Camp Leaders Guidebook.
