Welcome to the 29th Annual Merit Badge University Instructor & Staff Registration!

AS A THANK YOU FOR VOLUNTEERING YOUR TIME & TALENTS YOU MAY REGISTER UP TO 3 SCOUTS EARLY, BEFORE MBU OPENS UP TO EVERYONE if you sign up before Monday March 1st. You will be sent a code for early entry a few days around March 4th. General registration for Scouts will open to the public on Friday, March 6 at 5pm.

It takes an army of dedicated Volunteers to make MBU a success. For 29 years, hundreds of selfless moms, dads, business and community leaders have given back to Scouting by serving as Merit Badge Instructors, Assistant Instructors & Staff. Thank YOU for being a part of our team and for helping our Eagles to soar!

Here's how this works:

1. Complete your registration.

1. If you wish to be a Merit Badge Counselor, please be sure and indicate which badges you are qualified & registered to teach.

2. If you wish to serve as STAFF (Non-Merit Badge Counselor) please select what positions you would be comfortable staffing.

3.  If this is your first time, we'll coach you through event day procedures. We recommend that you serve as an assistant instructor your first time out or we can give you an adult helper to make your job easier. One of our volunteer coordinators will reach out, discuss where you'd like to contribute and place you in a class.

3. If you're an MBU veteran, you know the deal. We'll get back to you on pre-reqs and your equipment and audio-visual needs.

4. Questions? Please contact the appropriate individual(s) on the right sidebar under contacts.
