Hello Scout Leaders!

The University of Dayton's chapter of Epsilon Tau Pi is excited to share with you all how we plan to run MBC in the spring, as well as what merit badges we will be offering. 

MBC will take place at the University of Dayton's Kettering Labs on Feb 17th, March 9th, and April 6th. Each session will start at 8:30am. Troops may begin to arrive to check in for the event starting at 7:30am. Parking Lot C is located next to Kettering Labs and is free to park in on weekends. Enrolling in the event cost of $15 and payment will be made when registering.

Scouts are required to take three classes during MBC, which means they can earn three new merit badges. Each session, scouts will attend a one-hour class for each badge they intend to earn. Each session follows the same schedule. By the end of the event, they will have spent a total of three hours in each class.

This year we are offering: 

• Citizenship in Society

• Citizenship in Community

• Communication

• Environmental Science

• First Aid

• Family Life

• Aviation

• Composite Materials

•  Digital Technology

• Geocaching

• Photography

• Radio

• Traffic Safety

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at rushi2@udayton.edu. We are excited to have the opportunity to host this event for all of the local scouts, and we hope to see everyone in person in February!
