What is a Merit Badge Midway?
A Merit Badge Midway is an opportunity for Scouts to participate in organized workshops with Merit Badge Counselors to pursue certain merit badges. There are often Merit Badge Midways at Jamborees, Camporees and other large Scout events. Some Boy Scout Districts run stand alone Merit Badge Midway events during the year, usually all day long on a Saturday. At a typical Merit Badge Midway there are several sessions during the morning and afternoon and various Merit Badge workshops offered during these sessions. Scouts bring blue cards signed by their Scoutmaster for the Merit Badges that they would like to work on and then they sign up for 1 or more sessions at the Midway.
