Additional Event Information

- Scouts are encouraged to wear their field uniforms ("Class A" uniforms) to the Merit Badge Day event.  The exception will be for the Welding and Woodwork sessions, where Scouts will need to wear long sleeves/ pants (non-synthetic fibers for those in the Welding course).

- Each youth participant needs to bring a pre-approved Merit Badge "blue card" to the event. 

- All participants, youth and adult, need to bring a completed Annual Health and Medical record (parts A-B) to submit at check-in.  

- Please note there is a limit of 25 Scouts per course offering for this event.  A waitlist will be used once the limit of Scouts is reached.  If you are unable to attend, please cancel your registration by the Sunday prior to the event at 11:59 PM so that your slot may be used by a youth on the waiting list.

- Lunch will not be provided as a part of the event, so those partaking in a full-day course should plan on brining a bag lunch.
