Upcoming Merit Badge Opportunities

Northern Star Scouting continues to work to connect partner organizations with Scouting volunteers to offer Merit Badge opportunities throughout the year. Using the Merit Badge program, program partners engage youth in a deeper understanding of a vocation or hobby tied to their mission and purpose as an organization. 

Here are some of the upcoming Merit Badge Opportunities we are offering with community partners:

  • Snow Sports (Afton Alps), Saturday, 2/8/25
  • Truck Transportation (DART Transit), Saturday, 2/15/25
  • Fire Safety (Cottage Grove FD), Saturday, 2/22/25
  • Coin Collecting (Northwest Coin Club, presented at the Northwest Coin Club Money Show), Saturday, 3/22/25
  • American Labor (Cottage Grove FD), Saturday, 4/12/25

Our Merit Badge Opportunities Page on the Council website has a new look! Check out the purple button that says "Click here for a list of all current Merit Badge Opportunities" to find registration sites for the upcoming sessions.
