Alpha Merit Badge University

NEW – Opportunity to get up to 96 Partial Merit Badge Sign-Offs!
Do you have partially completed merit badges that you’ve been meaning to finish?

• Are you missing just one or two requirements to earn the badge?
• Did you start a merit badge at summer camp or a previous AMBU but never got it signed off?
• Do you have work completed at home or with your troop that still needs to be reviewed by a certified Merit Badge Counselor?

Now is your chance to complete those badges!

At this year’s Alpha Merit Badge University (AMBU), we are offering a special Partial Sign-Off option.

• No need to sit through a full class again to get sign-off! 
• You MUST Bring your documentation, worksheets, picture, or proof of completion for any outstanding requirements.
• Meet with certified Merit Badge Counselors who will review your work and sign off on completed requirements.
• Partial Sign-Off option is NOT a replacement for attending a merit badge class for the first time.
• Lunch is also included for Scouts registered for Partial sign-offs.

Don’t let unfinished merit badges hold you back from advancement!

• "These [Alpha Merit Badge University] events helped my sons work on earning badges that they needed and also helped us to navigate the Eagle Scout project process. I can’t thank you enough for creating an event that inspires young Brown boys to aim for Eagle. .... The journey for my sons wasn’t easy. There were many obstacles along the way, and at one point, they honestly thought it might not be possible. But after attending that first Alpha Merit Badge University, everything changed. They saw Eagle Scouts who looked like them, and in that moment, they realized they could achieve it too .... Thank you again for the vision and dedication that made such a difference for my boys."
