Waynesburg University’s Merit Badge University will present a sports-themed “March Madness” event Saturday, March 24. The day will begin with check in from 8:30 to 9 a.m. in the Marisa Fieldhouse/Gymnasium and conclude at 1 p.m.
Boy Scouts will have the opportunity to earn one of the following three merit badges: Athletics, Personal Fitness and Sports. Cost is $15 for the event, which will include lunch, a patch, a T-shirt and instruction.
“We are thrilled to continue our tradition of offering scouting programs on campus,” said Sarah Bell, academic communications coordinator. “March Madness Merit Badge University provides a great opportunity to connect with the local Boy Scouts community.”
All participating Scouts are responsible for bringing their own blue card and proof of completed pre-requisites. Scouts who do not complete pre-requisites before the day of the event will receive a partial merit badge.
Scouts are permitted to wear their Class B/Activity Uniform at the event.
Registration is limited. For more information or to register, email scouting@waynesburg.edu or call 724-852-7790.
