Merit Badges Offered |
Merit Badge University will give your Scouts an opportunity to
earn one of the many merit badges offered
in engineering, science, or, if they prefer, a non-technical badge.
This is also an excellent time to expose older Scouts to a college
campus.
We require MBU participants
to be at least in the 8th grade.
Scouts should come in complete uniform. We will
comply with the regulations of individual troops.
Each merit badge will have its
own skill center. These centers may include tours of various campus
attractions such as the Computer Center, television station WCTE,
radio station WTTU, the Geology Building, the BusinessMedia Center,
as well as other laboratories and displays. We will also have
programs and lectures of interest for the adult leaders throughout
the day.
Scouts
should "Be Prepared" when they arrive at Merit Badge
University.
A scout who is prepared will have
read the pamphlet for his merit badge and completed all prerequisite
requirements. If the prerequisites have not been completed in
advance, the Scout will only receive a partial completion for
the merit badge.
