Scoutmaster Bucky Comments: |
|
Consider working on the American Cultures Merit Badge ALONG WITH the American Heritage Merit Badge. The American Cultures Merit Badge requirements, while not identical, share some
common themes between the two merit badges.
If you like the American Cultures Merit Badge, consider also doing American Heritage, Citizenship in the World, Disabilities Awareness, and Genealogy |

Choose THREE groups that have
different racial, cultural, national, or ethnic backgrounds, one of which comes from your own background. Use these groups to meet requirements 1, 2, and 3
Do TWO of the following, choosing a different group for each:
Go to a festival, celebration, or other event identified with one of the groups. Report on what you see and learn.
Go to a place of worship, school, or other institution identified with one of the groups. Report on what you see and learn
Talk with a person from one of the groups about the heritage and traditions of the group. Report on what you learn
Learn a song, dance, poem, or story which is traditional to one group, and teach it to a group of your friends
Go to a library or museum to see a program or exhibit featuring one group's traditions. Report on what you see and learn
Imagine that one of the groups had always lived alone in a city or country to
which no other groups ever came. Tell what you think the city or country
might be like today. Now tell what you think it might be like if the
three groups you choose lived there at the same time
Tell about some differences between the religious and social customs of the three groups. Tell about some ideas, or ways of doing things that are similar in the three groups
Tell about a contribution made to our country by three different people, each from a different racial, ethnic, or religious background
Give a talk to your Scout unit or class at school on how people from different groups have gotten along together. Lead a discussion on what can be done to help various groups
understand one another better.
