What’s there to see in 2023?

We have updated the program schedule for Summer 2023. Some badges have been rotated out and some badges have been rotated in. Some are badges you may have seen in past years – like Soil & Water Conservation – and some are entirely new badges – like Entrepreneurship.

Another notable change: Orienteering was previously 80 minutes (1.5 program blocks). This summer, it will only take up one program block (50 minutes).
