Chippewa Merit Badge Program

Chippewa Camp offers 33 different merit badges in its merit badge program. The complete listing of the merit badges offered at camp is outlined below. Five of the required merit badges for Eagle Scout are offered including: Camping, Environmental Science, First Aid, Lifesaving, and Swimming. During the camp season we may add badges based on unique skills of our counselors. Please note that any information regarding added badges will be addressed at the Saturday evening leaders’ roundtable.

Merit badge sessions are held in the related program areas of Chippewa Camp as listed below. This information is important to know when selecting merit badges so that Scouts can plan where they need to be throughout the week. The Block Schedule allows for ample time between merit badges to return to the troop campsite to gather materials for another merit badge, visit the trading post, or visit one of the open program areas.

Class sizes for rifle shooting, shotgun shooting, climbing, and horsemanship are restricted due to safety restrictions and physical capacity. This is to ensure that Scouts taking the merit badge receive the time and instruction needed to complete the badge at camp.
