Sioux Merit Badge Program

Sioux Camp offers 32 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. The addition of badges during the summer will be kept to a minimum but may be added to the camp curriculum based on counselor strengths and abilities. Please note that any information regarding added badges will be addressed at the Saturday Night Scoutmaster Roundtable.

Merit badge sessions are held in the related program areas of Sioux 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.
