Stamp Collecting Merit Badge Workshop

The Green Bay Philatelic Society is hosting the Stamp Collecting Merit Badge Workshop on Saturday, March 15, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at Good Shepherd Church, 2736 Glendale Ave., Howard/Green Bay. The entire time will be needed to complete the merit badge in one day. No prerequisite requirements are needed, and no prior experience is required. Scouts must be 12 years old or older to attend since this is considered a moderately difficult merit badge. Bring a bag lunch, a 1-inch ring binder (optional), pen, pencil, marker, and a fun attitude! Scouts are encouraged but not required to bring 5 or more stamps on or off envelopes from home. All other supplies will be provided, including stamps. There will be no cost. This is a rarely earned merit badge and has not been offered by the GBPS for more than five years, so sign up now! Prior sign up is required, and space is limited to 30 Scouts. Send sign up requests via email to Mark Kohls at mark.kohls@att.net. Mark, the GBPS newsletter editor and Hiawatha Scout Camp Shooting Sports Director, will be one of four instructors for the day. Thank you!
