Merit Badge Days

are opportunities for Scouts to work on merit badges with volunteers skilled in the field of study. Most merit badge sessions are scheduled on Saturdays, with a morning and an afternoon class.  The schedule is set in order for the Scout to spend the day, save some money and earn at least two badges. Please be sure to check this page regularly for updates on MB schedules.

Merit badge registration costs are:

• $15 per session 
• There will be 2 session on each Saturday. A morning and a afternoon session.
• Merit Badges that are double sessions will be $25.00. 

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

What to Bring:

2. Please be sure to down load the flyer, at the bottom this page, to review any pre-requisite work. All Merit Badge Requirements listed on the flyer must be completed prior to your arrival of the Merit Badge course.
