For those interested in earning the Wilderness Survival Merit Badge, “be prepared” by opening a Blue Card with the Merit Badge Coordinator, Mr. Aller. Then, review and complete available merit badge requirements in advance. Our Wilderness Survival Merit Badge Counselor, Mr. Schmand, will be the ASM Lead for this camping adventure.
