Do you have knowledge and enthusiasm about a career, hobby or other subject are are willing to share that knowledge and enthusiasm with Scouts?
Merit Badge Counselors offer their time, knowledge and other resources to help Scouts learn and complete requirements of a merit badge. One of the methods of Scouting is association with adults who act as mentor and guides.

Some merit badges can be completed in a few hours. Others require field trips, outings and excursions (like, say a visit to a museum or historic site) that are carried out over a period of weeks, or even months, in between other Scouting activities.
The job of the merit badge counselor is not to go on every single outing or excursion with a Scout. It’s to make sure the Scout knows what is required of them to earn the badge, and to help them with any requirements that can be completed in a group setting.
