For 2025, we've been working diligently on creating an advanced program for our more tenured Scouts to continue their growth and advancement. In addition, we continue to hold a high standard of teaching merit badges while providing a premier outdoor experience for our Scouts and Scouters.

Registration is open and we anticipate having our Merit Badge Schdule along with Leader Meetings in Mid-January, 2025.  We encourage you to reach out with any questions that you might have!
