Metal Work
Worksheet by the Merit Badge Center, Philippines
Last Updated: March 22, 2021
This worksheet was created to assist Scouts with their merit badge work. The worksheet does not replace the
actual merit badge counseling process. A certified merit badge counselor for the badge must still certify your
completion of each requirement and the merit badge. If a requirement says that you must take an action using
words such as “discuss”, “show”, “tell”, “explain”, “demonstrate”, “identify”, etc. that is what you must do. Merit
badge counselors may not require the use of this worksheet or any similar material. No one may add,
subtract, or modify the official requirements for the merit badge as prescribed by the Boy Scouts of the
Philippines.
