Each scout or group of scouts are required to be accompanied by a parent or adult chaperone. All Scouts BSA Youth Protection guidelines must be followed at any event with registered Scouts present. Requirements: Contact your troop leader about procuring your Oceanography Merit Badge, before your class date, and bring your Blue Card, signed by your troop leader.
