Look up the following Citizenship in the World Merit Badge from
the B.S.A. Citizenship in the World Merit Badge pamphlet:
(Print off a copy of the material from this link & bring it to the event as filled out as you can)
Do a good turn. Bing an extra copy for a friend you may not have met yet.
Research & write an essay on a country in the world. Examples of research done previously on 2
separate countries are posted below:
From Marci Borg:
There are 7 possible choices. They have to choose 2. These 3 will be covered by attending JOTA
c. Visit with a student or Scout from another country and discuss the typical values, holidays, ethnic foods, and
traditions practiced or enjoyed there.
d. Attend a world Scout jamboree.
e. Participate in or attend an international event in your area, such as an ethnic festival, concert, or play.
This is 3b. I usually have the scouts bring a country that they have researched to class to discuss.
b. Select a foreign country and discuss with your counselor how its geography, natural resources, and climate
influence its economy and its global partnerships with other countries.
Brian sent an email with 2 countries already researched that he just prints off and then they discuss them. I can
do it either way.
