Event Details

We offer nearly 30 merit badge classes, many of which are not typically offered at other Merit Badge Days. All of our merit badge classes are half day (3 hour classes) with the exception of First Aid which is an all day class.

You may select one all day merit badge session OR a maximum of two 1/2 day merit badge sessions. If you choose two merit badge sessions, you are limited to registering for only one Eagle Scout-Required merit badge class (denoted by an asterisks in the class schedule).

1. Scouts should obtain and read the current merit badge book.
2. Scouts can plan their Merit Badge Day registrations by viewing the class schedule here.
3. Scouts may print the corresponding worksheets to use as a tool to organize notes and document their work on the prerequisites and during class. Scouts can view the individual Merit Badge Descriptions and Prerequisites and download the worksheets here.
4. To earn the merit badge, Scouts need to complete all prerequisites and show proof of completion. Download the prerequisite form and have it signed by your Scoutmaster once all prerequisites have been completed.

   –  A Scoutmaster-signed prerequisite form (download here)

2. Scouts must be prepared to discuss and demonstrate all requirements to be completed before class. Please bring all written work including any worksheets and drawings.

Cancellation/Class Change Policy

All Merit Badge Day registrations are final. There are NO refunds for cancellations. If a Scout can no longer attend, he/she will forfeit their registration fee. There will be NO credits for future events and NO registration transfers to other Scouts. There are also NO class changes once you register. Be sure to review all prerequisites and double check that your Scout needs/wants the merit badges you sign him/her up for BEFORE you register.
