Debate Merit Badge
Warning In Progress
Leadership frequently requires effective use of persuasive reasoning, oftentimes in an extemporaneous setting against an opposing point of view. Learn to think and communicate critically and effectively in a formal, organized manner using the techniques and tools of formal debate. To be effective in debate, one must “be prepared”, be “mentally awake”. This merit badge builds on the skills of the Communications and Public Speaking merit badges to offer the scout additional opportunities to grow in confidence and presence in front of others.
