Electronics for Scouts
These are handouts I wrote and/or used as a Merit Badge Counselor for the Scout Electronics Merit Badge around twelve years ago. It was a fairly popular course at Merit Badge Conferences. Part one was this presentation, as well as making a few circuits and leaning to use a meter. Part two was learning to solder and making a fairly loud light activated alarm.
