Scout Genealogy Merit Badge: This class follows the Boy Scout Handbook while making the steps clear and more easy to follow. Scouts are able to complete Sections 1, 4, 5, 8, and 9 at the Library. They then will receive a packet ($.50) along with helpful instructions to complete the remaining listed requirements. The teachers can be consulted further if needed, but when the requirements are completed, the counselors will sign off each boy's record of completion.

Cub Scout - Wolf (8 year-old boys) Achievement 11: "Duty to God" Section 11 - c and d

Cub Scout - Bear (9 year-old boys) Achievement 8: "The Past is Exciting and Important." Boys can complete Sections a, d, and g in the class using Family History as a way to support their faith. (Note - discussions of the will be based on LDS beliefs regarding family history.)
