If you are having trouble registering scouts, carefully read the information on the help tab.
If you send an email that does not include the information we need to help you, it wastes time and will get promptly deleted.
Test drive the new site (in progress) at New Meritbadge.Info.Leave comments at our Facebook page.

Notice!!! Meritbadge.Info will switch to the new site with BSA validation Friday morning March 13th.

If you wish to start using this site today, click here to launch meritbadge.info/mbn2

Adults must enter their BSA Number, DOB, First and Last name as it appears on their BSA ID card. We will query BSA and get back an answer. At this point one of three things can happen:
1) Your registration is verified - you can continue using Meritbadge.info normally
2) You are not registered or your registration has lapsed - your prior rights are revoked and you get the read-only screens that you see before your login
3) You are registered but your YPT has expired - your prior rights are revoked and you get the read-only screens that you see before your login

You have had at least two months to get yourself registered and complete YPT training. If you feel your validation is not working, send us an email with the four data items listed and we will validate your entry.

We have no control over what is on file at BSA. If everything matches your BSA ID card, there should be no issues. If not, your validation will fail.

Why are we doing this?
1. To provide higher security and validation of all adult users.
2. To clean up the mess we've accumulated via 15 years of poor user data entry.  

How will we do this? 

What should you do? 
Login to https://my.scouting.org/ and copy your BSA ID Number then update your profile on Meritbadge.info.  Let others in your unit know they should do the same.  We are giving you 2.5 months advanced notice to make this work.

Description


New Hanover County Fire Rescue have pooled public safety partners and experts to provide scouts with first rate merit badge sessions.  Please join us for our fourth annual merit badge college.

This event will take place on August 17, 2019 at Cape Fear Community College's North Campus.

We have added new merit badges this year and hope to add a few more in the next weeks as merit badge counselors are confirmed.

Use of electronic devices will not be tolerated during classroom instruction unless part of the class.
Lunch is provided on site and is included as part of the fee.
Registration is $15 per scout which includes lunch, a patch, and merit badge sessions.
Adult lunches are available for $5 for those remaining on site with their scouts.

**Multiple session classes**  Some classes take the morning and afternoon session to complete.  They are listed as AM/PM classes.

There will not be a closing ceremony and you are free to leave after classes have dismissed.

Some merit badges will not be completed.  It will be noted which requirements will be completed during the session.  For partial merit badge completion, it is the scouts responsibility to follow up with their scoutmaster or the merit badge counselor after the event.  We will not be signing off work completed prior to the event because of the limited amount of time the merit badge counselors have during the event.

We will not provide blue cards.  This year we will provide a print out of the completed requirements with the merit badge counselor's signature similar to the format used at summer camp.
