In this class, scouts will work towards their "American Heritage" Merit Badge. Every Scout swears an oath that includes duty to his country. A better understanding of American heritage, the ways in which the past has led to our present nation, is key to truly knowing what it means to be an American.
In this class, Scouts will complete 4.5 out of 6 requirements for the badge. STUDENTS MUST COMPLETE A FAMILY TREE BEFORE THE CLASS TO BRING WITH THEM TO THE WORKSHOP.
In order to complete the final badge requirement, Scouts will need to complete the following at their next Den/Troop meeting:
1. Read the Declaration of Independence and rewrite it in their own words.
2. Select a topic related to the U.S. that is currently in the news and describe how past and present meet.
3. Describe the adoption of the following: flag, Pledge of Allegiance, the Great Seal of the U.S., the motto, and the national anthem.
Cost of admission:
$10 per scout: Topic Focused Tour with hands-on merit badge activity
$10 per adult
Please note: Tinker Swiss Cottage DOES NOT PROVIDE BADGES or SUBMIT DOCUMENTATION FOR BADGES. This will need to be completed by your Troop's leaders.
