Scouting would not be possible if not for all of the hard work our adult Volunteers do. If you would like to become a Volunteer, the process is simple. Fill out an adult application and then talk to the Unit you want to join about what position will be the best fit.
If you want to become a Merit Badge Counselor, fill out the adult application as well as a Merit Badge Counselor Information Form, take the required Youth Protection Training, and then turn everything in either at the Council Service Center or email it to melissa.sams@scouting.org. Please note that it can take up to several weeks for Merit Badge Counselors to be approved. Remember, only an approved Merit Badge Counselor can sign off on Merit Badges.
Our adult Volunteers deserve recognition for the work they do, and there are Adult Awards for Volunteers. Do you know an adult leader who deserves special recognition? Fill out a nomination form and turn it in to your District Commissioner.
Once you become a Volunteer, be sure to complete your training!
