Our scout activity on Feb 17th included discussion of requirements 1, 2, and 6 for the Citizenship in the Community Merit badge. Here are some pictures and notes from that meeting.
We discussed what it takes to be a good citizen in the community. We discussed the rights, duties, and obligations of citizenship, and how we could demonstrate good citizenship in your community, Scouting unit, place of worship, or school.
