Instructors will provide the "Blue Card" to each Scout in the appropriate class. Scouts that register at the door will be provided a "Blue Card" at the registration desk.
  • Refunds will only be made to those people that request one before the registration deadline. Please contact the event organizer for assistance.
  • In the event of inclement weather, this page will be updated with further information.

Partial Merit Badges

The purpose of the Del-Mi District Merit Badge University is to help Scouts along the advancement trail by allowing them to get a good start on a merit badge. The program is NOT designed for Scouts to earn every merit badge in each class they sign up for. Scouts that do not complete all of the requirements for a particular merit badge at the Merit Badge University will need to complete the badge with a registered merit badge counselor approved for that particular badge back at their unit. The merit badge counselor instructing the badge at the Merit Badge University may not be available to finish counseling the Scout. Per Boy Scouts of America regulations, scoutmasters, assistant scoutmasters, and merit badge counselors approved to counsel other badges are not allowed to sign off on partial merit badges. (A merit badge counselor approved to teach aviation and weather merit badges would not be allowed to sign off on a partial merit badge in dog care.) Unit leaders have a complete listing of district merit badge counselors to assist boys in completing partial merit badges. Scoutmasters may contact the event organizer for this listing from the district.
