Merit Badge Introduction Workshop and Den Chief Training

A virtual event sponsored by Patriots’ Path Council Advancement Committee.

Opening ceremony at 8:00 AM, program ends at 1:10 PM.

The purpose of the workshop is to introduce badges to the Scouts and to help them understand the merit badge process.  For most of the merit badges, Scouts will be able to obtain a “partial” but will not be able to complete the merit badge at this event. All the supporting faculty will be available in the days following the Workshop to provide follow-up support for Scouts to complete their badge(s).

Registration opens Monday, September 21st at 9:00 am.

Registration closes Sunday, November 8 at 11:59 pm.

Registration is $10, additional per class fees are listed in the Class Catalog.

WE NEED PARENT MONITORS to help on the morning of the workshop.  If you or another parent can dial in on a separate computer, to monitor Scouts and help with attendance, please consider volunteering to be a Parent Monitor. Learn More.
