Letter from Mr. Jackson

webmaster — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 04:07:32 +0000

Good evening gentlemen,

We completed our last group class tonight and now it’s up to you to follow through. Thanks for your kind attention and lively discussion over the last three meetings. You guys have a great sense of humor and I’ve enjoyed working with you.

We have the following items yet to complete. There will be a final meeting after everyone has completed requirements 3 – 7 as noted below. As before, please make brief outline notes on your worksheet so we can discuss if needed.

Continuing item:

Requirement 3. Prepare a list of your regular home duties or chores (at least five) and do them for 90 days. Keep a record of how often you do each of them.

New action items:

Requirement 4. With the approval of your parents or guardians and your merit badge counselor, decide on and carry out a project that you would do around the home that would benefit your family. Submit a report to your merit badge counselor outlining how the project benefited your family.

Requirement 5. Plan and carry out a project that involves the participation of your family. After completing the project, discuss the following with your merit badge counselor:

a. The objective or goal of the project,

b. How individual members of your family participated, and

c. The results of the project.

Write your notes for a, b and c on your worksheet, and then reply and let me know what you plan to do for a project.

Ian and Justin have their projects for 4 and 5 approved. Please reply and let me know what you plan to do for your project. As we discussed, this should not be something you normally do as a chore.

Requirement 6. Do the following:
a. Discuss with your merit badge counselor how to plan and carry out a family meeting. (completed)

b. After this discussion, plan and carry out a family meeting to include the following subjects:

Avoiding substance abuse, including tobacco, alcohol, and drugs, all of which negatively affect your health and well-being
Understanding the growing-up process and how the body changes, and making responsible decisions dealing with sex
Personal and family finances
A crisis situation within your family
The effect of technology on your family

Discussion of each of these subjects will very likely carry over to more than one family meeting. Please have your parent initial and date your worksheet that you planned and carried out the meeting.

Requirement 7. Discuss the following with your counselor:
a. Your understanding of what makes an effective father and why, and your thoughts on the father’s role in the family

b. Your understanding of the responsibilities of a parent

This is the last discussion item and will be done individually between 7 and 7:30 before the troop meeting. I will also check items 3-6 as well. If you have any questions, please call or email. And don’t forget to practice those knots! You never know when you may need to tie that bowline in an emergency.

Best to you all,

Mr. J
