Weekend Schedule

Class RegistrationOnly online registration will be accepted. Once you have registered your Troop or Scout and chosen which option you would like, the online system will directly allow you to select the merit badge classes desired. The program will show how many seats are available for each class. Please review the list of Merit Badge classes offered at this MBU and help your Scouts determine what classes they would be interested in and best suited to take. It is very important that leaders help their Scouts choose a badge that is appropriate to their age, rank and maturity level. Please go over the requirements with your Scouts before they are signed up and make sure they know what will be expected of them.
