Juneau
Final Reporting
welcome to
Juneau
Long before Juneau was Juneau, it was Dzantik’i Héeni (“Base of the Flounder’s River), for literally thousands of years, a popular Native fishing ground.
Then, in 1880 two prospectors, Richard Harris and Joe Juneau, guided by Tlingit Chief Kowee, struck gold at the mouth of Gold Creek—the rush was on (and the town was built). During the next six decades, Juneau produced $150 million of gold. That’d be worth $7 billion today!
Government eventually replaced mining as the main industry followed by tourism. In fact, attracting visitors with its Native heritage, prospector history and incredible scenery, Juneau has been a world-class travel destination since the early 1900s.

COUNSELING
We encourage all participants to meet with a local merit badge counselor to have a more robust and fulfilling experience, however we provide counseling sessions for anyone who cannot find a local counselor.
Scouts are encouraged to find a local merit badge counselor to fulfill the requirements of meeting with a counselor. This will provide a more in-depth, personal, and fulfilling experience.
We will offer counseling sessions for all Scouts who cannot find a local merit badge counselor. Counseling sessions will begin in February to allow Scouts to complete all requirements. Scouts needing a counseling session will be communicated with directly and will sign up for one, 45-minute counseling session to fulfill the merit badge requirement of meeting with a counselor to discuss what has been learned.
Additionally, throughout the spring, we will send a “final report” to both parents and your unit leader through gathering information from each Scout on work done on different merit badges and other advancements and email it to your unit leader. See here for an example. We use this for all HomeScouting programs, and it is positively received from unit leaders.
