Check-in for all Troops will be from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM at the Kirby Field House on June 11th.

Registration will remain open through June 8th or until all merit badge classes are full.

The cost of the event is $25.00 per Scout BSA Scout and $20.00 per Adult Leader.  This fee includes Saturday's lunch in the Hampden-Sydney dining hall in Pannill Commons, coffee time for Adult Leaders in the Tiger Inn, an event patch, and the opportunity for Scouts to attend two merit badge sessions.

Registration must be completed online by a certified BSA Adult Troop Leader.  This is a Troop Event only.  No provisional Scouts are permitted.  All Girl Troops are required to register under their own Scouts BSA Troop number on their own registration (not to be combined with a Boy Troop).  All Girl Troops are required to have at least one registered female Adult Leader on their event registration and in attendance at this event.

Pre-Requisites

Pre-requisites are waived.  We expect that Scouts will earn these merit badges on-site the day of the event; however, there may be exceptions where work will be required after the class has taken place.  Scouts will have the opportunity to complete those requirements and receive the approval of their merit badge counselor.
