The purpose of Merit Badge College is to provide Scouts with an opportunity to receive instruction and earn
merit badges in subjects where a counselor may not be available through their units. Attendance does not
guarantee the award of the badge. All stated requirements must be satisfied. Partial credit will be given
only where a specific individual requirement or project has been fulfilled. Some badges such as Family Life,
Personal Management and Citizenship in the Community cannot be completed in the one month time frame of
Merit Badge College.

Scouts will be limited to two Eagle Merit Badges. Space is limited in all classes. To be sure that your Scout
is assigned three Merit Badges you must give us eight choices to pick from. Scouts who do not make the required
eight choices may not be able to get into three classes.

Merit Badge College is open to Scouts First Class and above only. Scouts  applying for admission must read and 
understand the requirements for those  badges they wish to earn. Scouts should note any prerequisites for badges  
selected. Merit Badge requirements are found in the Boy Scout Requirements  Book and in the individual Merit Badge 
books. Merit badges required for  Eagle may be found in the back of the Boy Scout Handbook.
