While this badge will require more time and physical output\, many who have completed it claim it is their most cherished badge for exactly that reason – it was tough to get. Listed below are some of the requirements and event timing so that you can plan accordingly. It would be a good idea for candidates to do a couple of 5-mile rides around their neighborhood on their own to get ready for our first formal ride which will be a 10-miler. Please BE PREPARED for the following: \nBlue CardsI need for each candidate to furnish me with a filled out “Blue Card” so that I can sign off on the requirements as you complete them. This is an essential part (as it is for all merit badges) of the record-keeping process and must be done in order for you to receive your badge. Please get them to me no later than November 1. \nSolvang Prelude ApplicationsI will provide copies of the application (can also download from www.bikescor.com) at the next ride. I will need your completed application and check by October 7\, so that I can submit all the applications for our troop as a group on October 8. \nWritten TestA written test will be taken sometime before the Solvang Prelude ride. It will consist of about 50 short answer questions (most from the merit badge book) and should be relatively easy if you have read/studied your merit badge book and know your Boy Scout First Aid. You must get at least 80% correct to pass. \nSchedule of Events \nSunday\, September 23 5-Mile Ride (San Marino) Meet @ Scout House 7:30am \nSunday\, September 30 10-Mile Ride (Rose Bowl) Meet @ Scout House 7:30am \nTBD Bike Mechanics Workshop Mt @ Pasadena Cyclery 7:00pm 1670 E.

Any make-up requirements \nEagle RequirementThis badge is an eagle requirement if you have not already earned the Hiking or Swimming merit badge. Among other things it requires a minimum of 200 miles of cycling. You will do a few more miles and ride more challenging routes in my program\, not because I like to torture you\, but because I want you to be in shape to complete the 50-milers comfortably and without incident. \nCycling Merit Badge Counselor \nJohn Osgood URL:https://www.bsa-troop355.org/event/cycling-merit-badge-session-18/ CATEGORIES:Merit Badge END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20121027T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20121027T130000 DTSTAMP:20200819T023206Z CREATED:20200819T023206Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200819T023206Z UID:1651-1351321200-1351342800@www.bsa-troop355.org SUMMARY:Hauntington BreakfastClick for Details DESCRIPTION:Troop 355 has traditionally provided volunteer help for this event\, which is a major fundraiser for Huntington Middle School.

While this badge will require more time and physical output\, many who have completed it claim it is their most cherished badge for exactly that reason – it was tough to get. Listed below are some of the requirements and event timing so that you can plan accordingly. It would be a good idea for candidates to do a couple of 5-mile rides around their neighborhood on their own to get ready for our first formal ride which will be a 10-miler. Please BE PREPARED for the following: \nBlue CardsI need for each candidate to furnish me with a filled out “Blue Card” so that I can sign off on the requirements as you complete them. This is an essential part (as it is for all merit badges) of the record-keeping process and must be done in order for you to receive your badge. Please get them to me no later than November 1. \nSolvang Prelude ApplicationsI will provide copies of the application (can also download from www.bikescor.com) at the next ride. I will need your completed application and check by October 7\, so that I can submit all the applications for our troop as a group on October 8. \nWritten TestA written test will be taken sometime before the Solvang Prelude ride. It will consist of about 50 short answer questions (most from the merit badge book) and should be relatively easy if you have read/studied your merit badge book and know your Boy Scout First Aid. You must get at least 80% correct to pass. \nSchedule of Events \nSunday\, September 23 5-Mile Ride (San Marino) Meet @ Scout House 7:30am \nSunday\, September 30 10-Mile Ride (Rose Bowl) Meet @ Scout House 7:30am \nTBD Bike Mechanics Workshop Mt @ Pasadena Cyclery 7:00pm 1670 E.
