Have You Heard of the Interpreter Strip?

Youth and adults may wear this strip if they show their knowledge of a foreign language (other than English) or sign language by:

1. Carrying on a five-minute conversation in this language.

2. Translating a two-minute speech or address.

3. Writing a letter in the language (does not apply for sign language).

4. Translating 200 words from the written word.

For Morse Code, youth and adults may qualify by:

1. Carrying on a five-minute conversation in Morse code at a speed of at least five words per minute.

2. Copying correctly a two-minute message sent in Morse code at a minimum of five words per minute. Copying means writing the message down as it is received.

3. Sending a 25-word written document in Morse code at a minimum of five words per minute.

Attention Scouters! If you have a basic knowledge of a foreign language and would like to be on a list of registered adults who can qualify Scouts and Scouters for the badge, please reach out to Greg Nordhougen at [email protected] for more information.
