Merit Badge Academy 2012

The Merit Badge Academy is an opportunity for scouts to come together and work on a variety of merit badges. This year, twenty-one merit badges will be offered. However, a scout may work on only one Eagle required merit badge.

Last year’s food drive was very successful, our scouts helped 100s of families! Please gather non-perishable food and bring it with you to the Academy. We will have an area for drop off during registration.

The Merit Badge Academy will be Saturday, March 10, 2012 from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm at
