Merit Badge Weekend is a fun opportunity for Scouts to share in the Fellowship of Scouting

with troops from around the Sammamish Trails and North Lakes Districts, have the

opportunity to spend one or two nights camping, and to begin working on requirements

for a selected Merit Badge. Some Merit Badges may be completed during the event, but

only if the Scout has contacted the Merit Badge Counselor prior to the Weekend and

comes prepared.

Mark these dates on your calendar:

Registration opens: September 16th (online at http://meritbadgeweekend.sammamishtrails.org)

Fees: $25.00 for Scouts, Free for volunteers. Late Fee $5.00 for any changes after October 7.

Meals are being made available for adult volunteers on Saturday, but only on an opt-in basis.

This will allow us to plan accordingly for the adult meals. Crackerbarrels will be available to

all scouts and scouters on both Friday and Saturday evening.

Scouts are expected to eat with their patrols and troops, with the exception of lunch on Saturday

when the Merit Badge Counselor may request they bring a lunch to their class.

Help keep the camps clean! In addition to keeping your campsite area tidy, Scouts are expected

to help clean up their merit badge class site, and adults are encouraged to help keep the Piggott

dining hall clean, especially after meals. Leave No Trace!
