HI,
I completed forms to become a MBC I sent in the adult registration and the MBC form and also the youth protection training certificate. I waited about 3 weeks. Spoke to one of my sons scout masters and said I still didn't hear anything. He said most likely it would go through but I wouldn't hear anything. Well I called Jacksonville which is the head for north Florida. I spoke to someone there. She looked up my papers and said they have everything and that they usually don't contact people and I was good to go. The thing I don't get is that, I put down no troop affiliation being my son is in one troop but meets with another also and I wanted to be able to help any scout. So how do I go about getting an id number, if they say they don't contact us. I mean she told me I was good to go, but I don' t have a member number. Do MBC have member numbers? Also is it strictly up to the scoutmasters to provide blue cards, or do I have to get some? I know I can ask my sons scoutmaster these questions but I don't know if it works differently being I am not affiliated with a troop.
Thanks
