EVERY Blue Ridge Council Troop is a choice if you choose the correct District, ask your Scoutmaster if you do not know your District. All choices appear when you pick the sequence. This is to keep all scouts from the Unit together in our database. This page has a screen shot for the counselors, but it shows which drop downs we're referring to:
http://brcmbu.weebly.com/counselors.html
Units will decide whether to register scouts or allow parents/guardians to do so.
Anyone who registers a scout must first register as a user, you need to know your District and Troop.

Merit Badge Information
Merit Badge requirements, prerequisites to complete are listed to the right of each course at registration.
http://www.scouting.org/meritbadges.aspx
We don't guarantee that a Merit Badge will be completed in a day, it depends on many factors and not all Counselors complete everything but cover as much as possible. The prerequisites are there for items that the Counselor will not be completing in the class. The scouts will go home with a sheet showing what is completed. Online results may not be scout specific, the sheet they receive is truly the best record of what was completed.
Merit Badge worksheets, so scouts can record their work, please bring a printed copy.
