Check it Out! Merit Badge Tech 2010

Hello Scout Leaders and Families of the Scenic Trails Council,

Below is a link to information on Merit Badge Tech that went out at the Fall Camporee on October 2nd. The event is planned for Saturday, November 6th at the Career Tech Center in Traverse City. All registration for the event needs to be done online and is 99% mandatory. If you do not pre-register there may not be enough food for you, you may have to wait in a long line, and you may not get the classes you want.

We are doing away with Merit Badge Blue Cards at the event. All blue cards will be mailed to the Scoutmasters by November 12th within a week of the event. They will be made out electronically by the council from the registration information online and master records that the counselors will turn in at the end of the day.

Please make sure your Scouts are aware of this event and that they know how to register if they want to take part. Scouts can print out their schedules and room numbers online.

Also for new leaders or parents, make sure they are aware of the adult training we are offering that day. Below is a link to the flyer about those courses.

Last but not least, the Council Store will be open that day from 10am until 2pm, just around the corner (1 mile) from the Career Tech Center.
