Merit Badge Clinic 

Saturday August 5th, 2023

9 am to Noon (check in at 8:30 am)

Barrington United Methodist Church, 98 Algonquin Road - Fellowship Hall

(on Algonquin Road, East of IL 59 and West of the Palatine Road intersection)

Advance preparation for the merit badge counselor meeting is needed so Scout can demonstrate understanding of the merit badge subject and requirements accomplishment.  We can work with Scoutbook to approve merit badges but Blue Cards are highly preferred.

Scouts need to be in dress uniform to meet with a counselor.

Each Scout may register online for the one merit badge they desire to meet a counselor. Scouts may register and earn more than one merit badge at the clinic if they are prepared and counselors are available.  We will attempt to cover most of the Eagle required Merit Badges and many other popular ones. 

No appointments; it's first come, first serve. 

Pre-registration through the PTAC calendar allows a Scout to reserve their spot in line.  Walk in registration will be available but please note, there may not be a Counselor available for all merit badges. Scouts will be matched to counselors based on registration sequence.  

On line registration closes Tuesday, August 1st at 3:00.

The last counselor meetings will begin no later than 11:30 am August 5th

.
If a Scout attending is not able to see a counselor, they will be introduced to a counselor so they can arrange to meet after the clinic.

2023 Fall Merit Badge Clinic is organized by PTAC Trailblazer District and hosted by the Barrington United Methodist Church
