YEAR PROGRAM
TROOP
782 MERIT BADGE SCHEDULE
Troop 782 is very proud of its
advancement program.
When
scouts first enter the troop,
they are placed in the First
Year Program, a special
program that takes the scouts
from the rank of Scout to First
Class in the course of one
year. Mr. Rodney
Reppenhagen, Mr. Jim Krazel,
Mr. Frank Thompson, Mr. Bill
Nielsen and Mr. Jim
Yurgil will be running the
First Year Program. With
these men, and the dedicated
corps of other adults, Scouts
learn the basic skills necessary
to survive in the wilderness
including how to select a camp
site, how to pitch a tent, back
country cooking method, and
more. While in the First Year
Program, the new scouts
participate in three mandatory
camp outs: Basic #1, Basic
#2, and Basic #3. At these
camp outs, scouts are given the
opportunity to put their camping
skills to the test, as they must
pitch a tent and cook their own
meals. At the end of the
program, scouts partake in First
Aid merit badge, an Eagle
requirement, part of which takes
place at Basic #3.
After
passing through the First Year
program, scouts have the choice
of merit badges. Adults
take an active role in teaching
merit badges, and there are
always alternatives from which
the scouts can choose.
Troop 782 offers many badges
ranging from Leatherworking to
Environmental Science to Crime
Prevention, all taught by
knowledgeable adult leaders.
