I am a Merit Badge Counselor based out of Dan Beard Council in the Greater Cincinnati Area. I have been involved with Scouting since my son was a Lion in 2017. I have served in multiple leadership positions including Den Leader, Cubmaster, and Troop Committee Member. I hope my knowledge through life experiences and education helps Scouts BSA members all over the United States earn their badges through their scouting journey.
Please use this page to learn more information regarding the Merit Badges I am certified to counsel, as well as personal safety in Scouting.
Please review the offered Merit Badges and select one that is most appealing or helps you achieve your Scouting goals
Obtain approval from your Scoutmaster
Please review the Workbook available on each Merit Badge page.
Please e-mail me after you have selected a merit badge, obtained approval, and are ready to get started.
Once you have reached out and are ready to get started, have one of your Troop Leaders link us through Scout Book to track your completion (Note: If your Council or Troop does not use Scout Book, I utilize PDF-fillable Blue Cards)
I look forward to working with you and please let me know if you have any questions!
I can be reached via AshleyJohnsMBC@gmail.com and typically respond within 24 hours.
Remember two-deep leadership and personal safety. Always CC a parent or Scoutmaster on all e-mail communication.
