Climbing Merit Badge

The season is changing and outdoor scouting events are becoming limited. Here at Upper limits we offer indoor climbing with over 20,000 square feet of climbing area with 65 foot silos, a climbing area with overhanging terrain, and six auto belays.

We also offer CLIMBING MERIT BADGE! All of our instructors are BSA registered and certified to provide the best indoor climbing merit badge experience. Scouts learn how to belay, rappel over 30 feet, and will be tested on essential climbing knots and etiquette.

For more information and booking call (309) 829-8255 or visit Their Website

Roundtable

We have been providing Roundtable with a training component, so please consider sending a representative from your unit. It's a great way to establish a relationship with other leaders that could be a resource to you. It also gives your unit access to all upcoming activity flyers and district information straight from your District staff. Let's all achieve great success in 2018 because we've shared resources, talents, strengths/weakness, as well as camaraderie and friendship!
