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.
