Merit Badge Counselors: Council & Districts

A message from Andy Chen, Golden Gate District Advancement Chair.

Did you receive an email directing you to this page? If so, it probably means you signed up to be a Merit Badge Counselor with the Golden Gate District instead of your actual home District.

This happens frequently because the Golden Gate Area Council sounds a lot like the Golden Gate District. 

When registering for a Merit Badge, you probably saw this pull-down menu:

You may have chosen Golden Gate in this list of Districts, thinking it was the Golden Gate Area Council. These are not the same. The Golden Gate DISTRICT is shown below... If you are in the green shaded area, you're in our District! To view the Council map click here.

To clarify, here is an organization chart of all the 16 Districts under the Council. Take a look. Where is your unit located? 

WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT?

If you ARE truly in the Golden Gate District, please reply to my email and let me know to get processed as a Merit Badge Counselor.

Otherwise, please return to the GGAC page where you registered for Merit Badge Counselor and try again. Select the correct District, and your District Advancement Chair will be notified.
