Throughout this site you will notice a listing of prerequisites
for each merit badge/activity. You should pay attention to those
that are "Starting Requirements" (SR) and those that are
"Prerequisites". Here is a list of all of the

complete Canoeing Merit Badge before starting Whitewater Merit
Badge. If the Scout has not completed these Starting Requirements
before coming to Tesomas, they will not be able to sign up for the
merit badge/activity. See the below model of how Starting
