In the Summer of 2026, Scouting America rolled out the Competitive Gaming Merit Badge, and it sent our controllers buzzing with excitement! Suwannee River Area Council is excited to host its inaugural Competitive Gaming MB Day at the Garnet Gaming Lounge at Florida State University!

An all-day event, Scouts will have the opportunity to explore the history, technology, professional, and competitive aspects of competitive console and computer gaming. Scouts will learn from local volunteers, gaming experts, and each other about this fast-paced, rapidly growing industry. The day will be hosted in the FSU Garnet Gaming Lounge, a brand-new, state-of-the-art eSports and Gaming facility on the FSU Campus. The experience will culminate in a variety of gaming opportunities and competitions for the Scouts.

There is limited space - the first 30 Scouts to register will have a seat. The merit badge requirements will be covered in their entirety, except for requirements 3b - 3e, which can be completed ahead of time. Lunch will be provided. We do not have extra room for adults, unfortunately, as space is extremely limited within the Garnet Gaming Lounge.

Warm up your hands, get hydrated, and get your avatars ready for an exciting day of gaming. Please reach out to Ben Wicker at benwicker2011@gmail.com if you have any questions.
