The Norwich University Scouting Association (NUSA) - Crew 1819 - is once again hosting a Merit Badge Workshop with 21 different Merit Badges including Swimming, Climbing (all day commitment), Nuclear Science, Space Exploration, First Aid, and others. Members of the newest Venturing Crew - many of whom are Eagle Scouts - are hosting this annual event.

Schedule and Merit Badges offered:

Registration: The registration fee is only $20; the fee includes Pizza lunch with drinks! Registration: is completed online. Council refund policy applies. [There is no fee for adults/leaders registering to stay and not have lunch, if you are staying and want lunch provided the fee is $6 per adult/leader]. As this is a Crew 1819 sponsored event we do not have a facility charge.

BSA ID Number: Have the Scout's BSA ID number ready before registering. This is critical to identifying the Scouts in Scoutbook to ensure they receive credit for requirements and an E-Blue Card.

Changes: Class changes can be made after registering by reaching out to crew1819advisor@gmail.com

Arrival: Please arrive at or before 8:00am in Mack Hall (auditorium) on the campus of Norwich for the opening cermony. Most of the Merit Badges will be hosted in the classrooms of Mack Hall. Pool is Goodyear Pool (5 min walk from Mack Hall). Climbing in Shapiro Field House (10 min walk). 

Departure: Please allow enough time afterward for the Counselors to get everything tallied up, announcements made, and a formal dismissal at 4:30pm.

Counselors: Merit Badge Counselors have attended University of Scouting training an will be co-teaching with subject matter experts in their fields. The event is sponsored by Norwich University's Crew 1819 - all registered scouters who have completed YPT.

Important: There are prerequists for many merit badges - see below. In some cases the requirement is to do one of a choice of activities. Scouts need to bring proof of completing prerequisit to the merit badge counselor. Once the scout registers they can see the prerequists on the individual registration under the "Report" tab. The Scouts must discuss which merit badges they should sign up for with their Scoutmaster or troop advancement chair and approval in Scoutbook. We will provide Blue Cards for those who need them, but will update Scoutbook. Climbing Merit Badge is the only all day merit badge to reduce the potential partial.
