Boxwell Summer Camp Hybrid Merit Badge Program

The Middle Tennessee Council is thrilled to be offering a hybrid program this summer for Scouts who cannot attend Boxwell Summer Camp for a full week. This program allows Scouts to attend camp for a single day to work on a Merit Badge, similar to our Merit Badge Days in the spring and fall. This program is available during weeks three and four of our summertime program and is scheduled for a Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at Boxwell Reservation. Scouts can choose from eight different Merit Badge classes each day as this will help them progress on their Scouting journey.
