Merit Badge College
at Bellevue University

*The Guide to Advancement has been updated to say "Any registered Scout, or qualified Venturer or Sea Scout, may work on the requirements for any merit badge at any time. However, before working with a counselor or attending a group or virtual merit badge opportunity, a Scout must meet with their unit leader or their delegate." - Guide to Advancement 7.0.0.3, p41.

 It is up to your Scout to accomplish this prior to the college. Event staff are not responsible for enforcing this process. Scoutmasters should understand that counselors at merit badge colleges will only sign off on requirements that are completed as written, and that MAC will supply digital blue cards for unit approval as opposed to inputting directly into Scoutbook. Please reach out to sam.kanne@scouting.org with any questions or concerns.*

Electronic blue cards will be available for download in the week following the event. You must download from this site and submit to your troop leader. We do not input directly into Scoutbook.
