On Saturday, September 15th, we present: Prepared. For Life. "FIRST RESPONDERS"- A Meriting with the Experts series.

This is a day based around seven first responder type merit badges. Alan Peters, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI in Portland is the honorary chair for the day.

Experts, such as FBI Agents, Police Offices, Fire Fighters, and EMT’s, will teach Scouts merit badges throughout the day. Merit Badge Counselors will be available to sign off completed requirements for Scouts. Agencies will include Washington County Sheriff’s Office,Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, and Beaverton Police Department.

For $20 each Scout will have a full day to work on three merit badges. Some badges will be able to be complete in full, others will be partial completions. Please rate the merit badges in order of preference. 1 is the badge you are the most interested in, 7 is the badge you are least interested in. If you have already earned a badge please choose "already earned". We will do our best to give everyone their top 3 badges.

Check in will begin at 8:00 am with our opening ceremony at 9:00 am. Lunch and snacks will be provided. Our day will complete by 5:00 pm.

This event will be held at Whitford Middle School, 7935 SW Scholls Ferry Rd., Beaverton, OR 97008.

Final schedules will be provided to Scouts once classes have been set. Each Scout should bring a signed blue card for each badge they are signed up for.
