Thank You Merit Badge at Home Counselors!

May 12, 2020 by The Scouter Digest Staff

Shortly after our Council began #ScoutingAtHome a team of volunteers stepped up to form the program that has become the centerpiece of our online program – Merit Badges @Home. These leaders served as digital pioneers, teaching us through example how to offer high quality Scouting programs while practicing physical distancing.

Since the start of the program, nearly 1,000 Scouts have taken merit badge classes. They have earned 24 different badges in 59 classes taught by these amazing instructors:

  • Alexandra Galloway: Art
  • Alexis Owens: Law
  • Arden Dougan: Chemistry
  • Burt Wagner: Digital Technology
  • Carol Brown: Safety
  • Chris Marston: Pets, Genealogy
  • Cyndy Hogan: Citizenship in the World, Citizenship in the Nation
  • David Medvitz: Programming
  • Doug Goldring: Citizenship in the Nation, Hiking/Backpacking
  • Irwin Lazar: Citizenship in the Community
  • James Chaplin: Programming
  • Jim Sheeran: Citizenship in the Community
  • Joseph Bastian: Robotics
  • Kathryn Trolenberg: American Heritage, Music
  • Kevin Bills: Genealogy
  • Lola Arjona: Family Life
  • Marcie Calcagno: Pets
  • Mike Yearsley: Personal Management
  • Nina Hughes: American Culture, Genealogy, Reading, Communications
  • Richard Harrington: Animation, Photography, Moviemaking
  • Richard Morris: Public Health
  • Sara Holtz: Public Health
  • Scott Willey: Painting
  • Sri Sritharan: Programming
  • Susan Plano-Faber: Scholarship, Family Life, Hiking/Backpacking

Please join us in thanking these dedicated Scouters who have worked so hard to innovate these programs for our Scouts! Special thanks also go to the Council’s Advancement & Recognition Committee, Program Department and Marketing Committee for working out the details behind the scenes.
