Registration Issue

Troop 540,

Mr. Kohrs and I went online at 12:00am this morning to make sure that you all got the merit badges that you requested. Unfortunately, even though The Greater New York Council advertised “Week 5” (August 7th – 12th) as “Eagle Week”, they were missing a lot of the Eagle merit badges that they normally offer during this week. The Eagle merit badges that were missing were: Citizenship in the Community, Citizenship in the Nation, Citizenship in the World, Communications and E-Prep.

Mr. Kohrs and I did the best job we could to select merit badges for you under those circumstances. After we were done, at 1:30am this morning, we sent a very stern email to The Greater NY Council filing our complaint. We are hoping that the registration program had a glitch and that those merit badges will be offered.

I will be sending our your merit badge schedules now. Please review them and let me know if there are any issues with the merit badges we selected.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Just know that I will be calling first thing Monday morning to see what they can do for us.

Thanks,

Jon Hess – Scoutmaster, Troop 540
