If you are having trouble registering scouts, carefully read the information on the help tab.
If you send an email that does not include the information we need to help you, it wastes time and will get promptly deleted.
Test drive the new site (in progress) at New Meritbadge.Info.Leave comments at our Facebook page.

Notice!!! Meritbadge.Info will switch to the new site with BSA validation Friday morning March 13th.

If you wish to start using this site today, click here to launch meritbadge.info/mbn2

Adults must enter their BSA Number, DOB, First and Last name as it appears on their BSA ID card. We will query BSA and get back an answer. At this point one of three things can happen:
1) Your registration is verified - you can continue using Meritbadge.info normally
2) You are not registered or your registration has lapsed - your prior rights are revoked and you get the read-only screens that you see before your login
3) You are registered but your YPT has expired - your prior rights are revoked and you get the read-only screens that you see before your login

You have had at least two months to get yourself registered and complete YPT training. If you feel your validation is not working, send us an email with the four data items listed and we will validate your entry.

We have no control over what is on file at BSA. If everything matches your BSA ID card, there should be no issues. If not, your validation will fail.

Why are we doing this?
1. To provide higher security and validation of all adult users.
2. To clean up the mess we've accumulated via 15 years of poor user data entry.  

How will we do this? 

What should you do? 
Login to https://my.scouting.org/ and copy your BSA ID Number then update your profile on Meritbadge.info.  Let others in your unit know they should do the same.  We are giving you 2.5 months advanced notice to make this work.

Sponsor Information

Welcome to Merit Badge University 2015!



A special thank you to Gillette College for hosting the event in their magnificent college campus. We appreciate their hospitality and the opportunity to hold our event in a state of the art setting.



Thank you to all the leaders, parents, and community volunteers from the Chocadewakoa District who helped create an awesome Merit Badge University 2015!


Description

Registration:



Scouts can register for any combination of available merit badge sessions (some merit badges require multiple sessions- see registration information). Classes fill up on a first come first served basis and registration is limited to the first 300 scouts. Class registrations will begin on October 1st. 



 



Event Cost:


Scouts: $35.00



Adults: $15.00



Guests: $10.00 (Meals Only)



 



Event fee covers meals, goody bag, and patch. Some classes may also have a materials/entrance fee. Registration will end on October 31st. 


A late registration fee of $20 per person will apply after this date.



No changes will be permitted to the schedule after registration. This will be strictly adhered to this year.  No walk-in's will be accepted. No refunds will be issued for scouts that do not attend. Troops may substitute another scout as long as they are taking the same classes as the registered scout.


 



Lodging:



Lodging will be the responsibility of the attending Troop. No lodging will be provided this year.

 



Event Details:



Registration and check-in will be held at the TEC Center. Please be sure you have two deep leadership present at check in. Each registered scout will receive a wristband that needs to be worn at all times. This wristband grants entrance to Merit Badge sessions and meals. Merit Badge counselors will be instructed to send any scout without a wristband back to registration.



Please note that merit badge sessions will be held at both the Gillette College main building and at the Technical Education Center (TEC). Classrooms will be used both in the TEC Center and the main building. The TEC center is across the bridge behind the Gillette College. There is parking directly in front of the TEC Center (recommended for check-in).  Many merit badges will be located off site; no transportation will be provided but maps and directions will be available. Leaders attending event will be assigned to merit badge sessions to provide two deep leadership.

BE PREPARED and Leave no Trace!!



All Scouts are required to attend an Opening Flag Ceremony Friday beginning at 5 PM at the TECH Center.   Scouts are required to wear their Class A uniforms.



Some Merit Badges will require preparation before coming to MBU. Please make sure scouts review any prerequisites that may be needed. Even if a merit badge does not have a prerequisite listed, we encourage all scouts to review the classes they are taking for any work that can be done ahead of time. 



It is STRONGLY SUGGESTED that Scouts download and use the merit badge workbooks. MBU volunteers do not have access to print or copy these at the event. They can be downloaded from this web site:  http://meritbadge.org/wiki/index.php/Merit_Badge_Worksheets



All Scouts will bring their own blue cards that are already filled out and Scouts are responsible for having them signed by the merit badge counselors.  If they are left at MBU, the Scout is responsible for replacing them; they will no longer be mailed.



Scouts are welcome to bring their own books, games, cards, and movies for free time. None will be provided during the event.



Leaders and scouts are asked to keep the college and TEC center as we found it. LEAVE NO TRACE.
