 As of 6/1/10, all MBCs are required to have completed the BSA Youth Protection Training. Log in to myscouting.org for the on-line training module. If you complete YPT in person (not on-line) please submit a copy of your completion certificate with your application

 

 

To become a Merit Badge Counselor, you must meet the BSA requirements and be registered by the BSA. Those adults failing to submit or submitting an incomplete BSA Adult application will not be registered as a MBC. All adults must submit a MBC-BSA adult application specifically for being a Merit Badge Counselor (position #42) regardless of whether they are already registered in another Scouting position.  

 

Two forms must be submitted to the Goose Creek District Merit Badge Committee for approval:

  1. BSA-Adult Application for the position of MBC (completely fill-in, Save, print out and sign)
    ONLY NEED LOCAL COUNCIL COPY
    English             Spanish
  2. MBC Qualification Form (fill-in)
  3. Copy of YPT certificate (if not done on-line)

You will not be considered a registered MBC unless you have passed the two step approval process:
1) The GCD Merit Badge Committee has approved your District Qualification Form AND
2) NCAC has approved your BSA Adult Application for MBC

Common Mistakes for rejection:

Many Adult Applications for MBC are rejected at NCAC because they were submitted incomplete:

1) Failed to have SSN# on app

2) Failed to fill out right side of app completely:
                         a) References with phone #'s (must have all three!)
                         b) Failed to answer all 6 questions
                         c) Failed to answer question 1-4

3) Failed to have applicant's signature

4) Failed to put "42" under Position Code

5) Failed to have Unit leader's signature (does not need Charter Rep's signature)

PLEASE DOUBLE-CHECK YOUR APPLICATION!!!
