Tips for Registering more than 1 Scout or more than 1 Merit Badge

  • Select each badge individually (Qty = 1)
  • Complete the required selections
  • Optionally select lunch for the scout (be sure to only add lunch to only the AM class if they are taking both AM and PM).
  • Add to the cart. 
  • Continue registering. 
  • When done, go to your cart (top right) and pay for the group in a single purchase.

Important Information

  • Please register for only one Eagle class.  If you would like a 2nd, you may waitlist and if there is room available 2 weeks prior we will contact you about the option to take a second class.  Email [email protected] if interested.
  • Please carefully read the pre-requisites.  Some classes suggest a minimum of age of 14 or 1st class rank.
    • These classes require more note taking, more lecture time, and skills/background that younger scouts may not have yet gained, especially scouts who have just crossed over to join the troop.  Please respect the Counselors requests, these are made for the benefit of your scout.
  • Adults -  We rely on your participation to make this event work!!
    • If you can commit to helping with a class to provide 2-deep leadership (no experience required in the class subject), please register to volunteer!  This helps us know which classes are covered and where we need to find day-of volunteers.
  • ​If a Scout has learning or behavioral challenges, we encourage an adult to stay with the scout during the class (to coach, not do the work). 
    • Our instructors will not be able to adjust the course to meet specific needs in this setting. If you have any questions about a class, content, activities or fit, please email [email protected]. 
  • By registering for a merit badge class, you are accepting the ​Photo Release and Agreement and Liability Waiver on behalf of the Scout and any observers or adults participating or responsible for transportation to and from the event.
