Fall 2024 Merit Badge Day 2

Sponsored the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan Gamma Chapter of Tau Beta Pi 

At the University of Michigan Merit Badge Day, Scouts will explore the world of engineering and earn their Digital Technology, Programming, Electronics and Engineering Merit Badges. Scouts will learn about programming and engineering in a fun environment through multiple activities, including developing programs on an Arduino and designing simple websites, as well as learning about important topics in engineering. Scouts will learn from engineering students across several disciplines, and learn more about what it means to be an engineer.

Details: Scouts must be registered to attend the event; unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate drop-in attendees.

Merit Badge Day will be held on Sunday, November 3rd, 2024, from 10am - 5pm, in-person, in the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Lurie Biomedical Engineering Building on North Campus (1101 Beal Ave Ann Arbor, MI 48109). Everything required to complete all badges, as well as provide food around noon, will be provided.  

Post-Registration Required Steps:

     1) Keep an eye out for additional information and communications from us regarding the event; these will come from tbp.meritbadge@umich.edu.

     2) Required University of Michigan forms must be completed in advance at http://tbpmig.org/mb-form. Completion of these forms does not constitute registration, which must be done first through the BSA page.

     3) Each scout must view the Personal Safety Awareness "Digital Safety" video prior to the event in order to complete each Merit Badge. This is equivalent to the Cyber Chip in the past.

     4) Pictures and media will be recorded during the event.

     5) Participants should select the merit badges in Scoutbook and assign Ibrahim Musaddequr Rahman, from Michigan Crossroads as the merit badge counselor prior to the event. 

Finally, have fun, learn a lot and Be Prepared!  We’re very excited to host Merit Badge Day, and hope everyone has a great time.

Yours in Scouting!
