**** EVENT POSTPONED DUE TO COVID RESTRICTIONS ****
The North Star Merit Badge Academy is still suspended. We will continue to hold off until we can resume indoor gatherings. We are committed to making our first ever Merit Badge Academy the best it can be! Please look for updated information to be released as it becomes available.
Thank you all for your support of this event! We were excited to see the very positive feedback from scouts, leaders and families and wish we could have offered it already but we'll hang in there and wait for the "all clear".
If you have any questions or concerns in the meantime, please feel free to contact us at troop193limestone@gmail.com.
Yours in Scouting,
Kathie Beaulieu, Event Coordinator
Assistant Scoutmaster, Troop 193
