Request a Virtual Visit With Scout Life Magazine

Are you working on the Journalism merit badge? A virtual visit with Scout Life magazine can help you complete requirement 2, option a, No. 2, which reads:

Visit the office of a newspaper, magazine, or internet news site. Ask for a tour of the various divisions (editorial, business, and printing). During your tour, talk to an executive from the business side about management’s relations with reporters, editors, and photographers and what makes a “good” newspaper, magazine, or internet news site. Note: If there are no opportunities for in-person visits in your community, a virtual visit is acceptable with the news site of your choice, provided your counselor approves in advance.

To request a virtual visit with Scout Life for the Journalism merit badge, please fill out the form below. We are available from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on most weekdays. At this time, we are unavailable on nights and weekends. The virtual visit will take around 30 minutes and can be conducted via Microsoft Teams or Zoom. We look forward to helping you earn the Journalism merit badge!
