Once you choose to start a merit badge there are a few steps you will have to take to complete it. First you will need to find Mr. Reilly or another blue card holder and request a new blank blue card. Secondly you will have to find a merit badge counselor that offers that merit badge and tell them that you are interested in beginning it. Finally once you complete the merit badge you must show it to Mr. Brady to get it signed. Then tell the advancement scribe, who will record it. Take your part of the blue card and put it into your eagle binder for safe keeping.
