The Lincoln Trail District is excited to announce the return of our Merit Badge College and we are once again partnering with Hardin County Schools Early College and Career Center. This year we have added opportunities to also work on STEM Nova and Supernova awards in addition to Protestant Religious Emblems. Additionally, we have again embedded some requirements for the Scholarship merit badge into all merit badge classes. This will enable Scouts to earn the Scholarship merit badge once they complete the remaining requirements after the event. So, some Scouts can earn three merit badges. Together, we hope to provide a great opportunity for Scouts to earn merit badges and awards while gaining knowledge, developing new skills, and exploring the world around them. Lastly, AOL Scouts crossing over are invited to attend if their new Troop supports them working on a merit badge at this event.
This year’s event Co-Chairs are Chris Adams and Jason Seery. Please contact them with all questions and concerns at: lincolntrailmbc2026@gmail.com.
