How do I sign up for a Merit Badge University?
You should sign up at the Troop Meeting. A list of available
class offerings will be available to view at the Troop Meeting. You may also contact the Troop’s Merit Badge Coordinator.
Initial sign up requires a selection process of five potential Merit badge classes, in order of desirability.
Because of the demand for MB classes,
sign up is almost always a month or two ahead of the event. YOU MUST SIGN UP EARLY. There are no guarantees that you will
be able to get a specific Merit Badge. On average, most scouts receive their top choices if signed early.
Why is there a cost?
The cost varies per University. Most fees cover a
patch, lunch and supplies that are needed to operate the MBU. The cost is typically $15-$25, depending on the facility. Not
all of the MBUs offer lunch. Please check your schedule.
