Abilene Christian University
Merit Badge University
Saturdays: January 10 and
January 24, 2008
(Scouts must attend both Saturdays)
The most exciting news is this year's event will be held in Abilene on the Abilene Christian University Campus.
Working in conjunction with ACU, new ideas and opportunities are developing to make this and future events even more fulfilling for all the participating scouts and with new elements to encourage older Scouts interest. Another proposed and possible element will be the opportunity to allow "on campus" camping on Friday Night (enclosed environment/lock-in style). This possible option will allow Troops traveling longer distance to arrive late evening on Friday and be rested and on hand for opening ceremonies scheduled to begin on campus about 8:00 AM.
The classroom format will remain basically unchanged, allowing three hour and one-half merit badge class choices. Merit Badge choices are being considered to offer the best opportunity of interest to all age Scouts, with special emphasis on other activities outside the classroom for the older Scouts and Adults. The Merit Badge College Committee is preparing a information and registration mail out that will be available later this month.
Begin now to prepare your Scouts to make their Merit Badge selections. Your input is needed to help the committee offer the best choices, and to assure the best instruction available for those classes to be offered. If you have a suggestion, or ideas of something that has been missing from previous Merit Badge College offerings, please EMAIL this information to Lon Hudson.
Start preparing your Troop now for the new and exciting Merit Badge College Opportunity coming to ACU in January
