having been a patrol advisor for the last three years. and also at summer camp was playing around on the main site of meritbadge.con/net found a single page advancement record. printed it off and guess what I think I am in love. the only req. that is not used is for first class swimming survial with pants. so I think that if you have a lot of new kids at summer camp or just a bunch of new kids it would be easier to use this in conjuction with the books so the advancement person dont have to carry a bunch of books after summer camp.
it is in the forms and files section look for the line single page advancement record.
the first set is advrcrd.xls
