Requirements at 2022 Merit Badge College

Most of the requirements for this merit badge were completed at the Troop 457 Merit Badge College 2022.  The merit badge college was held on March 3, 2022.  The items here are the remaining requirements to complete the merit badge.

Requirements in Class

Requirement 4a

Inspect your neighborhood for opportunities that may lead to crime.  Learn about a crime prevention survey.
Our neighborhood receives many mailed packages on the front porches.  I can see that so many packages on the front doors could tempt thieves to steal items.

One defense against "porch pirates" is to have security cameras around the house and neighborhood.  Our house has a Ring doorbell with a camera to help monitor the front door.  Our neighborhood also has neighborhood cameras and a neighborhood watch group. 

Requirement 4b

Using the checklist, conduct a security survey of your home and discuss the results with your family.
My dad and I took the home survey, and we found some opportunities to make our house more secure.

Requirement 6a

Create a poster to bring awareness to Crime Prevention

Requirements 7b
