Hello Scouts,
It is time to register for the upcoming Phoenix District Merit Badge University at Lone Star College University Park. If you would like to attend any of the Merit Badges offered please contact me and I can register you for this event. Do not delay because there is limited class size and this event is being offered to all interested Scouts in and out of Phoenix district boundaries.
Registration closes middle of March. On the day of the event you are required to bring a signed Blue Card with the Merit Badge class that you have preregistered for so that your counselor can sign off on any requirements accomplished on the day of this event.
Class A uniform required
Thanks so much,
Tamela De Maranville

SCOUTS will need the proper Merit Badge book. Look carefully at the requirements each class will cover, and take note in particular of any requirements listed as pre-work. In most cases this work is necessary to complete some or all of the requirements covered in class. Scouts should bring the pre-work to class so the counselor can evaluate it for proper credit, and so the Scout can use it as needed in Class.
COUNSELOR INFORMATION
Although the classes have links to a merit badge web site, the official BSA merit badge site is our definitive source for current and past merit badge requirements, and we will work to make sure all counselors are working with those requirements. In the case of any discrepancies between resources, the requirements on the BSA site will prevail.

NOTE: All Troops will be required to send 1 adult for every 5 Scouts registered. These adults will be in the classrooms to provide administrative assistance and help maintain discipline. For this purpose, two adults each attending half of the day will count as 1 adult for the full day. We will communicate separately with Troops with registered Scouts to explain this in more detail. We are currently looking for Leaders. Please Email Phoenix District MBU if you would like to serve.
