Once registered, Scouts will receive a link to log on; Scouts will use that link each day to access an hour of live instruction from a Merit Badge Counselor or other expert in the field.  Session links will be e-mailed no less than 24-hours before your scheduled session.

Each badge session will be provided by a registered Merit Badge Counselor and feature guest presenters from various industries related to the topic.  Scouts will have "homework" each day to complete before the next day's session.  Fridays will NOT feature an online seminar; instead, Friday is used by counselors to communicate with Scouts via e-mail to wrap up any final prerequisites and/or paperwork.  These programs make a great supplement to ongoing online schooling efforts being offered.

BLUE CARDS WILL BE PROVIDED DIGITALLY AFTER THE WEEK IS OVER.

***WE ARE LIMITED TO 999 PARTICIPANTS IN EACH CLASS!***

Check back often for updated sessions each week with new badges.
