Re: perforated blue cards and summer camp

Why don't we just hand out completed and signed off Blue Cards on Monday morning. That way nobody is inconvenienced. In my book the Scoutmaster still signs the Blue Card. If he prefers not to sign a blank check, I would suggest to the scout to write down the name of the Merit Badge before requesting the signature.
With the majority of all scouts who earn at least 90% of their Merit Badges at summer camp, it might be a good idea to have them somehow involved in the process. My son worked at camp for three summer, and was director during the third year - he did not have any complaints about the way the Blue Cards were filled out. And no, they did not just sign off on all requirements - some boys returned home with partials.
