As your son considers which merit badge classes he will sign up for, have him keep in mind that some merit badges have requirements that must be completed prior to camp if the scout is to complete the merit badge. The prerequisites are described for each Merit Badge in the Merit Badge Program Information document ( merit_badge_program_information.pdf ). The Merit Badge Prerequisites and Worksheets document ( prerequisites_and_worksheets_for_merit_badges.pdf ) includes worksheets to assist with completion and verification for the requirements completed prior to camp. The following merit badges have requirements that must be completed prior to camp session:
Astronomy, Bird Study, Camping, Environmental Science, Fish and Wildlife Management, Journalism, Nature, Reptile and Amphibian Study, Weather, and Wilderness Survival.
Additional worksheets for all merit badges can be found on:

Also, the following merit badges require that the scout demonstrate knowledge of CPR, so your son may need to prepare for this in advance:
Canoeing, Kayaking, Lifesaving, Motorboating, Rowing, Small Boat SSailing, Swimming, and Water Sports.
