Description

This sign-up is for Troop 42 Scouts to request registration for the Monticello MBU on April 2nd, 2022. Troop 42 Scouts and Families! Monticello Merit Mania (a Merit Badge University) is being held on Saturday, April 2nd, from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM and is a great opportunity for Scouts to work on merit badges in a focused, group setting.  Some badges can be completed at the MBU, while some will require additional outside work.  These sessions can offer Scouts an opportunity to work on some merit badges not typically offered in the troop or at summer camp.  Mr. Nolte is coordinating this event so contact him with any questions by email at: [email protected].   Here is the listing of merit badges offered this year (more may be added soon):   Automotive Maintenance (All Day) - 15 seats leftCitizenship in the World* (All Day; prereq #7) - 10 seats leftCycling* (All Day) - 20 seats leftEmergency Preparedness* (All Day) - 20 seats leftFingerprinting (Half Day) - 20 seats leftFirst Aid* (All Day) - 20 seats leftForestry (All Day) - 20 seats leftPlumbing (Half Day) - 14 seats leftPublic Speaking (AM Only; rereqs) - 19 seats left * indicates Eagle required MB. Scouts may select up to 2 half day merit badges (1 in the morning and/or 1 in the afternoon) or 1 all day merit badge.  Scouts should specify their top 3 choices and enter the merit badge names in order of preference in the Eventbrite registration page.  Note the merit badge prerequisites listed in the table, above.  Scouts will need to bring proof of completion of the prerequisites to the MBU.   Mr. Nolte will login and attempt to secure your spot as soon as you register but it isn’t official until you have funds in your account to cover the fees.  Half day merit badges cost $10 each and all day merit badges cost $20.  The deadline for sign-up is Monday, Mar 14th, and you must have funds in your Scout account by Monday, Mar 14th, to cover your registration.  Questions about your Scout account can be emailed to [email protected].   You'll need to bring your own sack lunch.  Lunches cannot be purchased on-site. Vending machines are available to purchase snacks, but no change machines are available.   If we have enough Scouts attending, we may be able to take the troop bus.  In that case, additional information will be sent out for times and meeting location.  But until that is determined, parents need to plan to arrange transportation to and from this event.  Carpooling may be an option as well.  Mr. Nolte may be requesting some assistance from adults or parents of Scouts attending this MBU to help with 2-deep leadership.   Sign up now - don’t miss this opportunity!
