Hello everyone. I wanted everyone to know how our merit badge
university day went on Saturday. It was very well managed and the boys

scouts have a chance to earn badges that they wouldn't otherwise have
access to in the normal course of our activities.
There is another event on March 26 in Birmingham. There are still
lots of classes open, but wi... Continue reading ...
