Register for MBU 2014 Here!
Waynesburg University's Second Annual Merit Badge University, planned for Saturday, October 25, 2014, will provide Boy Scouts with the opportunity to earn merit badges while being exposed to a wide spectrum of academic disciplines by qualified faculty and staff at Waynesburg University.
Cost for the day is $10 and includes lunch, a shirt, a patch, and instruction by Waynesburg University Faculty. A space will not be held for scouts until payment is made. All spaces are first come, first served. Walk-in registrants will be accepted as space allows, but shirts and patches are not guaranteed to those registering after October 1. Registration is limited to 300 scouts.
Cost is $10, which includes lunch and a t-shirt. Adult participants who plan to attend merit badge sessions must be in Class A/Field Uniform and must present evidence of their BSA registration and current Youth Protection Training. Alternate activities will be provided for adult participants who do not wish to accompany scouts to badge sessions or who are not appropriately registered with the BSA. Online adult registration can be accessed via the buttons on the side of this page. Adult registration is not required.
You must bring a completed blue card signed by your unit leader. Click here for a listing of the badge prerequisites. Unless you are advised to the contrary, you will be assigned your first badge choice and should complete the prerequisites for that badge. Scouts should read the merit badge pamphlet for their badge prior to arrival at MBU. Please remember to complete all prerequisite requirements prior to arriving on campus. You must bring evidence of completion of the prerequisite requirements or documentation from a unit leader that the prerequisite requirements have been completed to his or her satisfaction. If you do not have evidence or documentation of completion, you will leave with an incomplete blue card.
You can find directions to campus here. Registration is from 8:00-8:45 a.m. in the Marisa Fieldhouse/Gymnasium (Number 14 on the campus map). Please park in the parking lots marked "PP" or "VP" on the campus map. City parking on the street may also be available.

Scouts taking the music merit badge should bring their primary instrument if they have one. Scouts must bring a completed blue card signed by their unit leader, a tablet and pencil or pen, a water bottle, and evidence of completed prerequisites, if applicable. In addition, scouts should bring rain gear and dress for the weather.
