A city council meeting, school board meeting, political debate, or homeowners association meeting could qualify for this requirement. If you have another type of meeting that you would like to attend, please contact me
before the meeting to ask me if it would qualify. It should be a meeting that involves a discussion with different points of view being expressed. If you have attended such a meeting (and taken notes) since you became a Scout (when you turned 11), that meeting can fulfill this requirement. (See info below about what you need to do to report on that meeting to me.)
If you have not already attended such a meeting, here are links to four meetings
this week that could fulfill this requirement:
- Orem City Council, Tuesday, March 13, 2012, 6 p.m. You can get the agenda here.
- Orem Public Library Advisory Commission, Wednesday, March 14, 2012, 6 p.m. You can get the agenda here.
- Political Caucus Meetings, Tuesday and Thursday, March 13 and 15, 2012, 7 p.m. Your meeting location depends on your precinct and political party--most of you are in Precinct 29 or Precinct 1 (see the precinct map if you are not sure).
You will need to take notes at the meeting, and I would like to see a copy of your notes when I sign off the requirement (if you still have them). You will also need to give me a brief report of what was discussed and what opinions were expressed in the meeting. You can give this report to me orally, or you can write a brief report and give it to me in person or by e-mail.
To fulfill the requirement, you should have attended this meeting after you turned 11 years old and became a Scout.
Please give me a piece of paper with the details and initials below after you have attended the meeting (the merit badge requirement sheet I gave you in class has spaces for this information; you can just write the information on that sheet if you would like). Please bring a copy of your notes, if possible.
- Meeting Title/Name
- Date of Meeting
- Scout Initial
- Parent Initial
