Alpha Phi Omega is a national co-ed service fraternity founded in 1925 on the principles of Scouting. Keeping with our Scouting heritage and spirit of service, the chapter hosts youth achievement days every year. We hope to continue these traditions and bring more university resources together. At each of our workshops, boys and girls will try  and complete as many requirements for their badge of choice as possible during the allotted time, while still giving each requirement the time it deserves.

A brother of Alpha Phi Omega or a Merit Badge Counselor will be teaching each badge. APO will also be providing the blue cards for each workshop. Merit Badge University will be held on Saturday, March 5th, 2022 on the University of Iowa campus.

Registration Fee is $10.00 per Scout per class the deadline to register will be February 19th. Therefor if a student takes a whole day class the cost would be $10. Sessions are marked on the event as all day, morning, and afternoon.
