Alpha Phi Omega is a national co-ed service fraternity founded in 1925 on the principles of Scouting. Keeping with our Scouting heritage and spirit of service, the chapter hosts youth achievement days every year. We hope to continue these traditions virtually, in light of current circumstances, and bring more university resources together. At each of our workshops, Scouts will try and complete as many requirements for their badge of choice as possible during the allotted time, while still giving each requirement the time it deserves. Registration fee is $10.00 per Scout per class and the deadline to register is March 6th. e.g. If a student takes Energy in the morning, and chemistry in the afternoon, that is a total of $20. If a student just takes a whole day class, like First Aid, that only costs $10. Sessions are marked on the event as All Day, Morning or Afternoon.

A brother of Alpha Phi Omega or a Merit Badge Counselor will be teaching each badge. APO will also be providing the blue cards for each workshop. Merit Badge University will be held virtually on Saturday, March 13th. Zoom links will be sent to participants ahead of time.

The schedule is as follows:

8:30 AM – 9:00 AM Registration

9:00 AM – 12 noon Scout Classes

12 noon – 1 PM break

1 PM – 4:00 PM Scout Class
