IMPORTANT: YOU ARE ONLY REGISTERING FOR ONE, TWO, OR THREE PERIODS.

ONLY FULLY VACCINATED Scouts and adults may attend MBU. Fully vaccinated means at least two weeks have passed since your second shot. You MUST provide proof of vaccination to the troop prior to MBU. If there is enough interest, we may hold a separate advancement session at the Annex for non-vaccinated Scouts.
