Scouts must have a Scoutmaster signed blue card to attend a merit badge session. Scouts are permitted to signup for 1, 2, or 3 merit badge classes as their schedule allows. Merit Badge Counselors will share prerequisites and expectations with Scouts and their families directly. Merit Badge workbooks are available at http://usscouts.org/usscouts/meritbadges.asp

Registration is online ONLY. No walk-in's allowed.
Adult volunteers are needed for 2 deep leadership in each merit badge class. There are options available to volunteer all day or volunteers can choose to assist during a single session during the morning, lunch, or afternoon session. We also need help from scouts and adults with set up and clean up. Please signup through the registration page if you are available to help.
