Scouting the ARTS on CAMPus 2026
Friday, June 5 – Sunday, June 7, 2026
Southeast Missouri State University – River Campus & Dobbins Conservatory

Welcome to the inaugural Scouting the ARTS on CAMPus, a brand-new immersive weekend where creativity takes center stage.

For the first time ever, Scouts will spend an entire weekend living on campus while exploring the visual, performing, and media arts inside SEMO’s Holland College of Arts and Media. From studios to stages, rehearsal rooms to design labs, this experience gives Scouts direct access to university-level facilities and faculty while earning merit badges in a fully immersive college environment.

This is not a day event. This is not a workshop. 
This is a full residential campus experience built around the arts! 

Scouts will stay in campus housing, eat in the student dining facilities, attend structured merit badge sessions during the day, and enjoy exciting evening campus activities designed to build independence, confidence, and community.

Confirmed merit badges include Theatre, Graphic Arts, Music, Pottery, Photography, Journalism, Art, and Dance, with additional offerings being added!! More creative opportunities are on the way... 

Scouting the Arts on CAMPus: Your backstage pass to a full weekend of art, adventure, and living the college life at SEMO! 

Stay tuned for registration link and more merit badge offerings coming soon!!
