Casco Bay District Merit Badge College 

Casco Bay is holding a merit badge college on February 21st and March 21st of 2026. To earn most merit badges you will need to attend both days of the college. You can attend only one day but you will only get a partial and would have to keep in contact with your merit badge councilor to finish the badge. Some merit badges will have requirements that would need to be started or done before the college. These requirements will be shown next to the merit badge. There will be a $10 fee for each day. This fee is going toward lunch for everyone.
