Here at Camp Ranachqua, we do our best to offer every opportunity that we can for them to complete their advancements during their stay at camp however, due to time commitments of certain requirements, this is not always possible. Below is the complete list of Pre-Requisites for all the badges offered at Camp Ranachqua. These requirements must be completed prior to the Scouts' arrival at Ranachqua in order to provide the opportunity to complete the badge during the week! Scouts are still welcome to take badges with pre-requisites without completing them prior to the beginning of their week but, in most cases, the badge will not be able to be completed in Camp. All requirements are reflective of the 2011 BSA Requirements can be found in the 2011 Requirements Book, the specific Merit Badge Pamphlet, or through online resources. If you have any questions regarding these pre-requisites or want to see if accommodations can be made to complete any of the requirements during your stay please email Terrence McKiernan at tmckiernan@tenmileriver.org.
