During this years Hartwood Days celebration, you have the opportunity to work on some very unique badges. Sponsored by Venturing Crew 1717, we've tried to find some badges that most folks dont have. . . kinda off the beaten path so to speak. These are some unique badges that will be fun and a great addition to your collection! Individual scouts as well as Troops are welcome until seats are full.

_____The best part. . . while scouts earning their badge, the adults can enjoy the Festival Events. And when the Scouts are finished their badgework THEY can also enjoy all of the games and boths that will be at the Festival!!

We are constantly working on additional badges to add to the offerings, so check back often. Online Registration for 2011 is CLOSED!

_____Pre-registration will be required and class sizes will be limited to the number of seats listed as available for that class that have PAID (THIS IS A CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS YEARS) & registered scouts (or displayed class size below). There may be the possibility of same day Registration, but Pre-Registration will make sure that you have a seat in the badge you want, and speed up inprocessing on the day of the event!

Registration payment is for workshop training only, the actual Patch of the Try-it, Badge, or IP is NOT included in this cost. The actual patches can be ordered by your Troop leader, or (in the event your unit is unable) the parent, with authorization from the Troop Leader.

There's always a big line the morning of the event for day of registration, so please Pre-register & come early!

_____Scouts will be able to complete some badges and get partials at others. The specifics of any Pre-requisites needed to complete tha badge will be listed under each badge. All participants should wear their Scout Uniform (Class A) and bring the materials required on the Pre-Requisites page for the badge they plan to complete. See last years Pre-requisites page to get an idea how this works. Additional materials they should bring include:

• writing materials
• any completed work/projects from Pre-requisites with them.
• Lunch money or lunch (lunch can be purchased through the Hartwood Days vendors, not us)
• Boy Scouts attending they will also need to bring,
  • a Scoutmaster signed blue merit badge card, and
  • the appropriate merit badge pamphlet with them.

  

COST: Cub Scout Beltloop/Pins, BSA and GSUSA badges will be offered at $5.00 per badge. Some badges may have a material cost not covered in this registration cost, so check under the Pre-requisites for each badge.

LOCATION: Hartwood Presbyterian Christian Education Center, 50 Hartwood Church Road, Fredericksburg, VA 22406
