They will fill up fast, so register early here.

 

Wilderness Survival Merit Badge Workshops Sponsored by Local Companies

Through the Trail to Eagle Sponsorship program, local companies are putting on merit badge workshops to give your Scouts more merit badge opportunities throughout the year. This event is sponsored by Doug Robinson, owner of Geo Shelters, and Erick Boettcher, award-winning author and survivalist. Come earn the Wilderness Survival Merit Badge and even count this as a night of camping towards the Camping Merit Badge if your troop attends together! Sign up for the July workshop here. Want to get more overnight experience for your troop? Check out the over-night weekend Merit Badge Adventures at any of our 13 camps. See the schedule here.
