Hello Week 2 Leaders!

We hope the rest of your summer has gone well. We wanted to send a quick email to inform you of a few upcoming opportunities for Merit Badge Make Ups for your scouts.

  1. Goshen Labor Day Family Camp. The Goshen staff will be offering Merit Badge Make Ups for a selection of the most popular badges from Week 2 during Labor Day Weekend (September 2-5) at Goshen Scout Reservation as part of our normal Family Camp. Family Camp has activities for all ages. More information is available here: www.gotogoshen.org/family-camp
  2. Aquatics Partial Merit Badge Completion Clinic. The Aquatics Committee will be offering a merit badge completion day for various Aquatics Merit Badges later this fall. The date is still being finalized, but you can check for details on www.ncacbsa.org/aquatics-committee
  3. Woodwork Merit Badge Classes. Michael’s Woodshop out at Camp Snyder runs Woodwork Merit Badge classes year round. For scouts needing to finish up Woodwork from Camp Marriott or scouts wanting to start it anew. More information on all Michael’s Woodshop activities here: www.gotosnyder.org/rentals/michaels-wood-shop/
  4. Find a Local Counselor on Scoutbook. For those with busy fall schedules or who live farther away, you are able to look up a local merit badge counselor using Scoutbook. A walkthrough on how to do so is attached for your convenience. You can also find more information here: help.scoutbook.scouting.org/knowledge-base/where-can-i-find-a-list-of-local-merit-badge-counselors-sb/
