Advance Camp

Hi Scouts,

Are there some merit badges you were curious about but haven’t had the chance to work on? Maybe game design, or digital technology or welding or robotics?

Have you been putting off completing an Eagle required merit badge? Maybe Sustainability or Environmental Science?

Do you have a drawer full of ‘partials?’ Maybe Swimming or Weather?

This year’s one day Advance Camp will be offering the opportunity to work on 2 out of over 60 different Merit Badge choices. This is a huge one day event where over 2,000 scouts gather to explore new interests, start merit badges, finish merit badges, or complete previous partials.  There will be two sessions – one morning, one afternoon.

A special note to parents:
WE NEED PARENT VOLUNTEERS! Last year’s Advance Camp required the help of 150 merit badge counselors plus over 200 additional volunteers. Please save the date on your schedule. We will need many drivers and Advance Camp will need volunteers. All volunteers get a free shirt and free lunch. Also, looking for an OSPL for this outing.

Feel free to contact me with questions.

Thanks,
