Online registration is closed. You may still register onsite Saturday morning at 8am in McCool Hall.

The event draws over 100 Scouts and parents/leaders each year, and our goal is to create an environment where Scouts have an opportunity to continue their advancement program and earn valuable merit badges that may not be readily available elsewhere. We also want to assist scouts on their journey to Eagle Scout and beyond.

Each Troop represented is expected to have at least two trained leaders present on the day of MBU per 10 scouts in attendance.
