Welcome to Mizzou Merit Badge Day 2019!! 

We are looking forward to you and your Troop joining us and over 1000 other Scouts and Scouters from across the region on Saturday September 28th, 2019.

We are excited to have once again partnered with the College of Engineering to bring you a day full of great merit badge classes taught by terrific counselors, and will once again be adding new badges for 2019! 

We will be posting ongoing updates, including schedules and other announcements about the event on this page, so please check back often.

Registration for this AMAZING event will opened at 12:01am on Tuesday June 18th 2019.  The cost for the 2019 Merit Badge Day is $22/Scout and includes all program supplies, a souvenir water bottle, event patch and lunch.  Once registration begins, Adults/leaders can also purchase meals for $8 by contacting Drew Wood at the Great Rivers Council office at (573) 449-2561.

New for 2019 is the addition of souvenir tshirts that will be available for pre-order.  Shirts will be $15 each, and any shirts ordered at least THREE WEEKS prior to Merit Badge Day will be distributed at check-in.  We also anticipate have a limited supply of shirts available for purchase during lunch.  Scouts or leaders may also be able to order additional shirts the day of the event (if the desired size isn't available).  Those will have a slightly higher price which will include shipping to the unit.

More great news!  The MU Department of Anthropology has joined the team and will be providing instructors for 7 merit badges including 5 that are new this year!
