Merit Badge Days

Merit Badge Days

Merit Badge Days, hosted by Scouts BSA Troops, provide Scouts with an activity-filled day combining hands-on activities, question and answer sessions, and fun projects to help Scouts earn merit badges. Only days approved by the Council Advancement Committee are posted here.

Each Merit Badge Day requires that Scouts who attend fill out and provide the “Activity Consent Form and Approval by Parents or Legal Guardian” form upon arrival of the event. Please note: some Troops will provide this form with their approved flyer so submit as directed.

The Orange County Council is pleased to roll-out the Merit Badge Days program. The District will host Unit Merit Badge Day Coordinator trainings. Each hosting unit must have at least two registered Scouters become Coordinators by completing the training certification.
