There are a few events directly geared for scouts this year – the Merit Badge Workshop on March 12, and the Orienteering Championships in September (17+18). Here’s more information about both.

Join this class to begin working on your orienteering merit badge requirements for Scouts. Please note – the orienteering merit badge cannot be completed in one day – Scouts will have the opportunity to complete most of the requirements. The most practical way to complete the rest of the requirements is to participate in future NEOOC events. Of course, scouts and troops can also complete the requirements on their own. Pre-registration is REQUIRED!
