Does a Scout need to talk to a merit badge counselor BEFORE completing the requirements and worksheets for Citizenship of the World? My son will be a "Student Ambassador" this summer for People to People in Canada. It is a great opportunity and would help with his Citizenship of the World merit badge. Does he need to talk to his merit badge counselor before he starts this merit badge?

@Sandra - First off, the 'worksheets' are not part of the merit badge process. They are just tools that some scouts might use to help keep their progress in order. I would absolutely recommend that the scout discuss his upcoming opportunities with his merit badge counselor BEFOREHAND. There's no reason not to. If a scout tells a counselor that he already completed some requirement, the counselor may or may not count that progress - it's up to the counselor. Some requirements are easier to verify than others.
