Scout Summer Camp Leader Guide | Register for Camp

The latest edition of the Summer Camp Leader Guide features the 2023 Merit Badge Schedule for Seven Ranges! Several key changes have been made to the 2023 MB schedule:

• Number of sessions – some MBs have been shortened to allow for more available morning sessions.
• MBs fall into two buckets – (1) Those with 4 hours of instruction which are offered M-F in 50 minute morning blocks or M-Th in 60 minutes blocks -OR- (2) Those with 6.5 hours of instruction which are offered M-F in 80 minutes morning blocks
• Afternoon Variety – some MBs that were only offered in “long classes” in the morning are not available in the afternoon
• FROG – reduced to 110 minutes M-F and will not include a MB. This allows scouts to select a late morning MB and afternoon MB of their own choosing. They could also select to participate in swim classes that take place M-F at 11:00am.
