Open to Spirit Lake District Units Only. Space is limited - early registration is encouraged!

Join Scouts and experienced Merit Badge Counselors from across the district for our 24th annual Merit Badge Day hosted by Troop 393 at Hillcrest Church in Salmon Creek. 

This one-day event offers 11 different merit badges taught in two-hour sessions, with a strong emphasis on Eagle-required badges to help Scouts get a solid start or make meaningful progress. Scouts will learn alongside peers from other troops, enjoy a shared lunch break, and build camaraderie in a positive, well-organized environment. 

Some merit badges cannot be completed. Follow-up meetings can be scheduled with counselors to complete. See attachment to the right for a list of requirements that can be done ahead of time and brought to Merit Badge day for scouts who wish to complete the badge. Scouts should review merit badge requirements prior to attending classes. 

Blue cards will be printed and handed out (along with participant's schedule) during check in. Scoutmasters will be contacted prior to event for Merit badge approval.
