Troop Library
Hi Scouts,
I am Johnny, I am the new Troop Librarian.
In order to help me organize the library, I would really appreciate it if you could send me an email and let me know if you have a book checked out from the troop library. Just let me know your name, the book name, and when you plan on returning the book.
Also, please let me know if you have any books you would like to donate to the library. It would be really great if we could get a few more books donated.
I have added the list of merit badge books to the troop website. The list includes the name of the book, how many we have, and the version date. So, you just need to go to the troop website and access the list to see if we have the book you need.
When you start a merit badge, you need to go to www.meritbadge.org. Look up the merit badge book and look at the date next to the book title. That is the updated date. Compare that date to the merit badge book in our library. If the date in our library is later than the updated date on meritbadge.org, there may be some changes to the requirements. You can ask the Merit Badge Counselor if it’s ok to use a later book. If not, you will need to go to the scout shop, Sports Chalet, or www.scoutstuff.org and buy the book. You can also go to the county library and check out a merit badge book (but make sure to check the date.)
If you would like to check out a book, just send an email to, luannpeterson@yahoo.com and tell me which book you want. I will bring it to the next troop meeting, or you can pick it up at my house.
I hope I answered all the questions you might have. Please let me know if there is anything I else I can do make checking out books from our library easy for you.
Sincerely,
Johnny
