The Southwest Florida Council will be offering two, one week-long sessions of online merit badge camp beginning Monday, August 3rd  for any Scout currently registered to a Scouts BSA unit.  This is a unique opportunity for Scouts to earn badges, not readily available at their units, from the comfort of home.  All badges will be taught by qualified, adult instructors approved by the Council Advancement Committee.


After registration, Scouts will receive a Zoom Video Conference meeting code (separate e-mail to be sent Sunday night prior to the start of that session, not on your registration receipt). Please install the free Zoom Video Conference app (www.zoom.us) on your phone, tablet or computer prior to the class. Scouts will also receive a class specific e-mail address to send all homework to.  

Cost: $10.00 for each merit badge (online registration/payment only)
