HANDICRAFT

Carve it, weave it, thread it, paint it, pound it, imprint it. Handicraft offers all this to unleash a Scout’s creativity. This year, the schedule and program has been revised to ensure the Scouts receive the highest standard of instruction and so they can retain their knowledge. Please read the special notes below for more details.

Special Notes:
  • Basketry and Fingerprinting are 2-3 day merit badges offered Monday & Tuesday and again on Thursday & Friday. Scouts who need extra time to finish their project or who would like to start early, can use the open time on Wednesday. Scouts need to start the merit badge on Monday or Thursday in order to insure completion.
  • Woodcarving, Leatherwork, and Art take a full week to complete. Scouts should sign-up for the time they would like to work on a badge and expect to be busy the full week.
  • Handicraft offers fingerprinting from 3:30-4:30 Monday & Tuesday and Basketry from 3:30-4:30 on Thursday & Friday. Scouts need to show up on both days to insure completion.
  • Scouts can work on their project for any merit badge during free time (3:30-5:30) but should not expect to complete any badge during this time unless otherwise noted because they are encouraged to take part in afternoon activities throughout camp.
  • No merit badge can be started on Friday since requirements require a day of instruction and another day for evaluation.
Merit Badge Fees:
Model Design & Building and Photography each have a $5 fee to help cover merit badge materials. Fees will be automatically added to your unit bill when a Scout signs up for the merit badge.
