Re: Finishing up the Citizenship in the World Merit Badge

[Jeremy Disch]

Greetings Connor,

Yes, I would be happy to do this on zoom. 

Would you have availability Tuesday evening April 1st after 6pm on Zoom? Would you also have an adult present in the room. 

From my records these were the requirements that were still due:

• (3b) 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.

• (4c) Select TWO of the following organizations and describe their role in the world.
• (1) United Nations and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF)
• (2) International Court of Justice (The World Court)
• (3) International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol)
• (4) World Organization of the Scout Movement
• (5) World Health Organization (WHO)
• (6) Amnesty International
• (7) International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)
• (8) Cooperative for American Relief Everywhere (CARE)

• (5b) Name at least five different types of governments currently in power in the world.
• (5c) Show on a world map countries that use each of these five different forms of government.

6. Do the following:

• (a) Explain how a government is represented abroad and how the United States government is accredited to international organizations.
• (b) Describe the roles of the following in the conduct of foreign relations: ambassador, consul, Bureau of International Information Programs (IIP), Agency for International Development, United States and Foreign Commercial Service
• (c) Explain the purpose of a passport and visa for international travel.

7. Do TWO of the following (with your parent or guardian's permission) and share with your counselor what you have learned:

• (a) Visit the web site of the U.S. State Department. Learn more about an issue you find interesting that is discussed on this web site.
• (b) Visit the web site of an international news organization or foreign government, OR examine a foreign newspaper available at your local library, bookstore, or newsstand. Find a news story about a human right realized in the United States that is not recognized in another country. [This one you have completed you only need one more]
• (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

Hello Mr. Disch,

Recently I’ve been trying to finish up my Star Rank and I realized that I need one more badge for it, and I remembered that I started citizenship in the world a while ago and finished the packet and completed all of the other requirements, but never actually finished it and had it signed off. I was wondering if we could possibly get on a Zoom call some time or if you could come to one of the Monday meetings so that I can get it signed off.

Thank you for your time,

Connor McMichael

Below is what Scoutbook says is outstanding

Thanks!
