Marshall University and the Buckskin Council BSA will again partner for the annual Scout Merit Badge College on our campus on Saturday, February 8, 2025.  Scouts BSA (which is inclusive of all demographics) invites scouts from throughout our state and region to Marshall for the opportunity to work on one or two merit badges during the day while receiving instruction from university volunteers serving as merit badge counselors.  Classes are offered in the morning, there is a break for lunch, and then classes are offered again in the afternoon. We hope you will consider participating in this valuable opportunity for the scouts and for Marshall. This is a good way for us to support community development and citizenship, bringing Marshall’s creed to young people throughout our region. This is also a wonderful opportunity to showcase the best of Marshall University to several hundred middle and high school students. 

 

Faculty and staff volunteers are needed to teach courses. If you are interested in offering a badge through merit badge college or have questions, please contact Steven Mewaldt at mewaldt@marshall.edu.  Obviously, you may choose a merit badge that reflects your discipline. However, you may also be badges that reflect a hobby or other interest which you might enjoy sharing.
