Merit Badges!
Merit badge classes expose scouts to new subjects, teach a variety of skills and are an important part of the Scouting programming at Camp Hinds. Our mornings are filled with merit badge sessions, enabling all scouts to earn two or three badges during their time at camp. For the motivated scout, additional opportunities are provided, usually in the evening, to start and possibly complete additional badges.
Pre-register!!!
Beginning May 15th, you can complete on-line registration for merit badges for your troop at www.pinetreebsa.org/scss. Classes are filled on a first- come basis. On-line registrations will be given first priority. If on-line service is not available to you, you can go to the Pine Tree Council Center and ask for help to enter your badges for your troop. Your last option is to mail your advancement forms. All mailed registration forms will not be entered until staff arrives at camp in late June! Any late registrations and merit badge changes will be done on Sunday afternoon at camp as well as Monday morning before and after breakfast.
