Camp Bob Hardin operates on a BLOCK SCHEDULE where most Merit Badge classes are full day classes, one time during the week. This allows for more time in class and less time walking to and from class. Classes are held Monday through Thursday. Friday morning is class make up time and Friday afternoon is available for a Troop adventure. The Merit Badge Schedule is below.
Class sign-up begins on March 7, 2017. Scouts will be reviewing the Merit Badge Schedule in Patrols on Monday, January 30th and will be asked to rank their top 10 choices. Review will continue during Advancement night on Monday, February 6th and their selections can be turned in beginning that night.

All Scouts must complete the BSA Medical Form, parts A, B, & C (see below). The physical must have been completed within 12 months prior to the end of camp (June 24, 2017) to be valid.
You must also include a copy of both the front and back of your insurance card.
We will be collecting forms on Monday June 5 at the regular meeting. Please bring FOUR copies of each document as we will not have sufficient time to copy them at that late a date and have to provide them to various programs.
Make sure we have the following:
- Fully completed and updated medical forms (four copies!)
- Four copies of front and back of insurance cards
- Completed Hold Harmless Agreement
- Participant Information Form???
- Parental Consent Form - signed by both the Scout and parent/guardian???
