Hi Scouts,
Each year, the CU students in Alpha Phi Omega run Merit Badge University. This is open and encouraged for all Scouts. This year, they are offering 32 merit badges. Details below.
WHAT: Merit Badge University [MBU] WHEN: Saturday, November 16, 2019 TIME: 8:30 AM to 5:15 PM WHO: Open to ALL Scouts! DESCRIPTION: MBU is an opportunity for Scouts to be on the CU campus and attend merit badge classes taught by college students who are members of Alpha Phi Omega. They have one session in the morning, lunch and two sessions in the afternoon. Scouts will be assigned 3 merit badges out of their request for 6 badges. They will be on campus and travel to each of the three classes. CU students are the instructors. IMPORTANT – almost all of the merit badges offered at MBU require outside work. If you have a partial from a previous MBU, don’t take it again since they will probably be covering the same requirements you did the first time. Be sure to check the incomplete merit badge list on the troop Website. CU MEETING LOCATION and MAP: Coming Soon – we don’t know which building they will be using this year. Stay tuned. COST: $24 billed through Scout troop accounts. Extra $15 for Aviation MB, $10 for Lifesaving MB and Space Exploration MB. LUNCH: Center for Community [C4C] All Scouts and adult attending - $12.00. Billed through Scout accounts with the registration fee, not at MBU. Lunch must be preordered. PAYMENT: Charges are billed through Troop 171 Scout accounts. Cash, check, funds transfer via Venmo [@BSA171BOULDER] or credit card using PayPal [3% surcharge] See Kathy Brown for details. CANCELLATION INFORMATION: once registration closes, MBU will not offer any refunds for any reason. Please contact Scott before the registration closes if you must cancel.
