BIGHORN MERIT BADGE UNIVERSITY!

Bighorn Merit Badge University is an opportunity for Scouts of all ranks to meet expert counselors in a safe, dynamic group setting. The goal is to give each Scout the tools and connections that will fuel their own motivation to successfully complete up to 2 merit badges.

NEW Merit Badges offered! - Artificial Intelligence, Wildland Fire Management, Reading & Scholarship, Crime Prevention, Electronics, Journalism, Weather, Emergency Preparedness 

The cost is $12 per scout. Electronics, Swimming & Lifesaving have an additional fee.

Registration is complete upon payment received and entitles each participant access to the facility, expert counselors, resources and activities.

/// New requirement for MBU.  Each scout must have a completed Part A and B Annual Health and Medical Record.  It is encouraged that one parent bring the forms for the entire troop. They will be kept secure for both weekends and can be picked up at the end of Day 2 ///

BE PREPARED! Please come to MBU well rested, well fed, and ready to learn! Learing is not passive. Bring your energy!

Scouts, please discuss with your Scoutmaster what merit badges you are taking prior to registering.
