HOW THE CLUBÂ WORKS
To join The Proper Mountain Woman Club you must pay your club dues by purchasing a membership in the club store. Once you have paid your club dues you will be sent a merit badge workbook, and you will be emailed a digital copy of the merit badge workbook so you can start earning merit badges right away.
The workbook lists all the merit badges that you can work on during the winter session. There are over 200 merit badges you can earn, but you won't earn them all. You will earn the ones that speak to you. We have merit badges in twelve categories, so there is something for everyone! The merit badges are designed to challenge you, stretch you, help you to keep moving, and help you to embrace the winter. Some are hard, others are easy. But all of them will enrich your life in some way.
​
There are 12 Proper Mountain Woman Categories...
Arts & Crafts
Beauty
Health & Fitness
Home & Hygge

Service

You will be required to enter the merit badges you earn into The Merit Tracker... a special website designed for troop members to keep track of their merit badges. If you are a new troop member you will receive an email by the time the club starts with your login information for The Merit Tracker. If you are a returning member, your login information stays the same but you will be granted access to the new club session. The merit badges you earn will be represented digitally on this website (there are no physical merit badges mailed out). Throughout the club session, and as you earn merit badges, you will advance in rank and title within the club. When you advance to certain ranks and titles you will receive special club patches in the mail to commemorate your hard work and progression!
