Your Scout may select up to four courses (one each for the morning and afternoon time slots on Saturday and Sunday).
Additionally, we will be offering Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat Training. This is open to both youth and adults as a late-start on Sunday afternoon.
MBU check-in will begin at 8:30 a.m. each day at McGivney Hall. Lunch is not included, but food options are available on campus. Signs-ups for this event will close at midnight on September 27th to allow Scouts and merit badge counselors time to prepare for their courses.
