WHO - This event is open to Scouts BSA members.

WHAT - The Plumbing Merit Badge hosted by Arden Engineering offers an exciting opportunity for Scouts to dive into the world of plumbing. This hands-on workshop is designed to teach participants the fundamentals of plumbing systems, including how they work, how to fix common issues, and the importance of water conservation.

Scouts who earn the Welding Merit Badge gain handson experience with a skill that’s both practical and creative. They learn how to work safely with welding tools, understand different types of metals, and make basic welds themselves. Along the way, they’ll develop patience, attention to detail, and confidence using real equipment.

WHERE - LU 51 Training Facility 11 Hemingway Dr. Riverside, RI

WHY - The Plumbing Merit Badge workshop by Arden Engineering empowers Scouts with essential plumbing skills, promotes environmental stewardship, and offers a glimpse into potential career paths. It's a fun, hands-on experience that builds confidence and practical knowledge.

Scouts should take the Welding Merit Badge because it offers a rare chance to learn a real trade skill in a handson, exciting way. Welding lets Scouts create something from raw metal, see immediate results from their effort, and gain confidence using tools safely.
