Merit Badge Days are opportunities for Scouts to work on merit badges with volunteers skilled in the field of study. Most merit badge days are scheduled on a Saturday and some Saturdays have a morning and an afternoon badge scheduled in order for the Scout to spend the day, save some money and earn two badges.

Merit badge registration costs are:

• $15 per merit badge or
• $30 for two merit badges on the same day (only if they run back to back)

On days where two merit badges are scheduled Scouts and parents will have a Pizza Lunch included. Parents can pay to eat when pizza is ordered. Fees may be paid at the front desk.

There may be additional fees for each badge, please check the registration page for exact costs.

Merit Badge sessions fill FAST, please contact the Council Service Center Front desk, at 585-241-8572 for registrations issues or questions.
