I'm not sure what you mean by "open". You should have your Scoutmaster's permission to start on a merit badge. Usually he signs a "blue card" which is the record of your merit badge progress. This is to ensure that you have any prerequisites that are required and that you are going to a registered merit badge counselor. You should make contact with your merit badge counselor prior to starting the merit badge to ensure you are credited for your work.
The Camping Merit Badge requires scouts to complete specific requirements, including planning and participating in camping trips, demonstrating knowledge of camping skills, and understanding Leave No Trace principles. Scouts must also learn about basic outdoor safety and first aid, as well as prepare a personal camping gear list. Each scout's responses may vary based on their individual experiences and the specific requirements outlined in the current Boy Scouts of America handbook. For the most accurate and detailed answers, it's best to refer to the official merit badge pamphlet or consult with a merit badge counselor.
