Merit Badge College - Barb Goleman H.S.- 2008

As almost a rite of passage for Spring, 19 Scouts turned in their tents for notebooks, pens, projects  and Merit Badge manuals, to prepare for the annual MBC in Miami.  MBC allows Scouts to train in specific areas of interest in fulfillment of Merit Badge requirements, under the instruction of experts in their respective fields of study.

This year our young Scholar Scouts honed their skills and received training, attending 138 classes, covering 95 Merit Badge courses in 27 fields of study, with 43 Rank Advancement training courses and 2 Interpreter strips, for a total of 228 hours of training. This was all acomplished in just one weekend!  In addition two of our leaders also provided training to other scouts during the MBC. Wow! 

Congratulations to all!
