TThis he Merit Badge Fair is an annual event hosted by the Chisholm Trail District of Capitol Area Council that gives Scouts the opportunity to earn merit badges ranging from elective activities like Music to most of the Eagle-required merit badges.

Held this year on Saturday, August 10th at the Austin Community College – Round Rock Campus this fair aims to create an environment where Scouts have an opportunity to continue their advancement program and earn valuable merit badges in an engaging way. It gives youth the opportunity to take two three-hour classes or a six-hour merit badge block. Returning for this year is Robotics, which is a single all-day class.

This event historically draws close to 400 youth from Chisholm Trail and the surrounding Districts and other Councils. This event is open to everyone. Utilizing 18 classrooms and various other open or public spaces to create a great environment for learning there will also be the opportunity to attend an Adult Leader info session. The day is divided into two, three-hour classes or periods, with a built-in bring your own lunchtime in the middle of the day.

Check-in begins at 7am – Classes start at 9am. Check-in was a bottleneck last year so we encourage you to bring breakfast and arrive early! Medical Forms A-B are required at Check-in.
