Citizenship in the World Merit Badge Clinic

Join us for the Citizenship in the World Merit Badge Clinic at the Harvest Weekend at Camp Oh-Da-Ko-Ta on Saturday, October 14, 2023.  The clinic will begin at 8:30 am.  Lunch is included with your registration.

Scouts explore what it means to be a member of the global community while working on the Citizenship in the World badge. They learn about international law and international organizations such as the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and the European Union. Scouts also find out about relationships between nations and the role of the US State Department and ambassadors.

The Citizenship in the World badge is required for the rank of Eagle Scout.

This badge involves a lot of work done in advance by the Scout.  The workshop is intended to provide an opportunity to present on or discuss this work.  Scouts who have not done the work in advance will get a partial; scouts who come with the following should be able to earn the badge that day.  Scouts must have approval of Scoutmaster to attend and bring a blue card.  In addition, scouts should come prepared with the following:
