 A. l. Applications for merit badges must be endorsed by the local court of honor, and the amirsltions must be given by examiners appointed by this court of honor. The local court of honor must certify to the National court of honor that the applicant for the badge personally appeared before it, at a regular meeting, with at least three members present, and demon strated to the satisfaction of the court that he had complied with all of the requirements as set forth in the official handbook. A scoutmaster may be ap- pointed by the court of honor as an examiner in any subject in which he is qualified. but it Is better to have the examination given by some person other than the scoutmaster of the troop of which the applicant is a member.
