Scouts will have the opportunity to earn merit badges, develop new skills, and have a blast with fellow Scouts. See the fantastic lineup of badges below and get ready for an unforgettable Scouting experience! We will continue to add merit badges as more counselors become available.

The Merit Badge Day for the westside of the Hoosier Trails Council is taking palce at Bedford North Lawrence High School, Bedford. The event is packed with a great lineup of awesome merit badges!

Lunch is included within the fee when registering for the event (no walk-ins). Papa John's pizza, cookies, and water make up the lunch option.
