Boy Scouts of America® Piedmont Council

American Merit Badge Summer Series

The Gastonia Scout Shop, in conjunction with the Piedmont Council, is hosting an American Merit Badge series for scouts this summer. Each merit badge will be offered IN-PERSON at the Scout Office in Gastonia. Scouts seeking to earn one of the four American-themed badges may take one or more of the offered classes. The cost for each merit badge is $15.00 which covers the class materials.

As with all MBU type of events, this is a Class A uniform event.

Class space is limited to the first 17 scouts to register (per merit badge), so act quickly to secure your spot.
