Merit Badge "Be Prepared"

Space for some merit badges is limited. Please be aware that some of the merit badges taught cannot be completed at Merit Badge Day due to specific requirements. Additionally many merit badges have prerequisites that must be completed prior to your arrival. It is your responsibility, as a Scout, to get permission from your Scoutmaster to start each merit badge. You will need to download the merit badge worksheets and “Be Prepared” for the classes you are taking.

What to Bring and Times

Merit Badge pamphlets are available at the Scout Shop and should be bought and reviewed prior to class to assist the Scouts and Instructors. Merit badge worksheets can be found online at http://www.usscouts.org/mb/worksheets/list.asp for any class you are taking. Check in will start at 7:30 a.m. Classes begin at 8:00 a.m. Lunch will be provided from 11:30 a.m. –12:30 p.m. If you have any allergies or special food requirements, please notify us when you register. Classes will resume at 12:30 p.m. and end by 4:00 p.m. Scouts should bring a water bottle for use during the day.
