Sponsor Information

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 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 February 15th. This cost is the same whether it is a full-day or a half-day class. If a scout takes 2 half-day classes it would total out to $20. Whereas if a scout takes a single full-day class it will only cost the $10. The fee includes all supplies needed for the classes and a participation patch for each scout.

Event Description

A brother of Alpha Phi Omega or a Merit Badge Counselor will be teaching each badge. APO will also be providing the blue card for each workshop. Merit Badge University will be held on Saturday, March 4 on the University of Iowa Campus.

The schedule is as follows:

8:30 AM - 9:00 AM Registration

9:00 AM - 12 Noon Scout Classes

12 Noon - 1 PM Lunch**

1:00 PM - 4:00 PM Scout Classes

** PLEASE NOTE: Scouts are responsible for lunch on their own, and will be released directly from class. Please make appropriate arrangements for meeting as a troop in advance. The Iowa Memorial Union, Old Capitol Mall, downtown, and outside will be available to sit and eat if your troop chooses to bring lunch, but there is to be no food or drink in the University buildings.
