Merit Badge College is a 2 session event during which a scout can earn up to 2 merit badges. Merit Badge College focuses on the badges required for the rank of Eagle, as well as a variety of non-required badges. These sessions give each scout involved the opportunity to learn new skills, and to hone skills that they may already possess.
MERIT BADGE COLLEGE 2010

Who? Registered Scouts and their leaders are invited to attend. All units must be under the
supervision of at least two adult leaders over the age of 21 at all times during the event. Any
registrations not in compliance with this requirement will be returned

What? Adult Scouters and community leaders will staff the merit badge classes. These
specially approved counselors will provide training and facilitate advancement on merit badges
using the requirements and standards offered by the Boy Scouts of America in their most recent
revision.

A Boy Scout is prepared. Scouts will receive confirmation of their enrollment prior to Check in on
the day of College. This confirmation will include detailed prerequisite information for badge
work that must be completed and delivered to the counselor at the event for credit. Being
prepared means the scout attends the class and participates fully, including the completion
of any advance work requested. Credit can only be awarded for work completed in class if they
do not bring prerequisite work with them that day. Badge work can be completed with a qualified
District counselor after the event, if necessary. Please instruct scouts and leaders to wear
Class A uniform for identification purposes at the event. We will make every attempt to
manage the popularity of these badges, but there is no guarantee that scouts will get into
their first choice. Spaces are limited and classes close when filled. We appreciate your
understanding and support of this policy.

When? February 13th-7:30 am arrival is suggested. The event will begin at 8:30 am at the
Floral Heights Methodist Church with an opening gathering for all participants. Classes are held
in various church buildings. Maps will be provided to escort scouts to their classes from the
