Merit Badge Courses are for First Class Scouts and above OR Scouts who have finished the 7th grade.  Every Scout attending Merit Badge College must be currently registered with the Boy Scouts of America.

  • For all Merit Badges being completed at Merit Badge College, you must follow the requirements as stated from the BSA 2015 Requirements Book. 
  • All requirements marked in bold type must be completed prior to Merit Badge College.  Some work will need to be emailed to the counselor in advance - see specifics online.
  • A Scout completing a pre-requisite needs to understand that a written response must be in his own words.  A written response involving text a Scout has “copied and pasted” (or otherwise borrowed verbatim from a source) will not be accepted as fulfillment of a pre-requisite.  
  • All written requirements must be typed. 
  • Partials will be issued for incomplete work. 
  • Some badges require outside walking.  Be prepared for outside tours.

  • Each Scout is required to be in possession of the Merit Badge Book for the class(es) he is attending. 

Attendance is no guarantee of receiving credit for the merit badge(s) attempted at Merit Badge College.  All merit badges require active preparation and participation.

If you are a Boy Scout or Venturer with a rank of First Class or higher OR have finished the 7th grade, you are eligible to register for, and participate in, after discussion with your Scoutmaster, any of the Merit Badges being offered.  Each Scout may register for up to 8 hours of classes.

How to register:

1. Look over the Merit Badges to be offered and the difficulty ratings, then have a discussion with your Scoutmaster about what Badges you would like to attempt.  After you both agree on a slate of Badges, go to the next step.  THIS INFORMATION CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE:

2. With your parent’s permission, register below. 

3. Complete the online registration form, filling in all fields on the form. (Please note that the email address you use in the registration section will be the one used to confirm your class choices and to communicate important information to you about Merit Badge College)

4. Select your class choices and alternate class choices in the appropriate section.  (The sooner you sign up, the more likely you will receive your first choice of classes.  Alternates will be used only in the case where classes have become filled. You will receive a final confirmation email once the registrar processes your application with your final schedule.)

5. At this point, to pay for your registration, print your registration receipt and return it as soon as possible to the Council Service Center along with all fees made payable to: Minsi Trails Council.

Your enrollment is NOT COMPLETE until payment is received at the Council Service Center.  An email receipt will be sent to you once balance is paid. 

When completing your application, please be sure to select your preferred class schedule along with alternate class choices as listed on the registration form.  All attempts will be made to satisfy your preferred choices, but class availability will be determined on a first come, first served basis determined by the date your completed, paid application is received online and at the Service Center.  If none of your choices are available, you will have the opportunity to select a new class schedule or receive a refund of your registration fees.

We reserve the right to limit registration for Merit Badge College or for any course.  We also reserve the right to cancel a course or activities as needed.  In case any course must be closed or limited, Scouts will be admitted on a first registered and paid, first served basis.  Registration fees are non-refundable after December 2, 2017. 

Please note:  Additionally, some badges require that the pre-requisite work be emailed in advance to the counselor - see the online pre-requisite information for specifics.

Important: Be sure to discuss your merit badge selections with your Scoutmaster before you go online to register.  Your Scoutmaster should be aware of the badges you are attempting at Merit Badge College in advance and you need to have discussed your merit badge selections with your Scoutmaster before you can register!
