Good evening,
For those Scouts taking the “Communication” Merit Badge at Summer Camp next month, you might want to get Prerequisite #5 for that merit badge knocked-out:

Attending A Public Meeting
Attend a public meeting (city council, school board, debate) approved by your counselor where several points of view are given on a single issue. Practice active listening skills and take careful notes of each point of view. Prepare an objective report that includes all points of view that were expressed, and share this with your counselor.
