6th Annual Merit Badge Camporee Invitational

The 6th Annual Merit Badge Camporee, hosted by Troop 90 in Shrewsbury, will be held on May 18, 19 and 20, 2012
This Camporee has grown each of the past 5 years and has been as rewarding for both the scouts who have participated and the Merit Badge Counselors who have given of their time.

Due to the success of last year we are making it an Invitational again this year. We will need to limit
attendance to 150 scouts. You are asked to apply to the event by January 6, 2012. Please include the number
of scouts who plan to attend and the names of counselors who are available to lead a merit badge session.
Last year we hosted 140 scouts so with the 150 scout limit there is still some room to grow but make sure you apply on time so you don’t miss out on this great event.  Event Sign up form
