INFORMATION ABOUT THE MERIT BADGE COLLEGE
Location, Dates, and Times
The Chickasaw Council Merit Badge College is held at Delta State University (1003 W.
Sunflower Road, Cleveland, MS 38733). The merit badge college will take place on
Saturday, January 8, 2022, and units and individuals have the option to camp at Delta
State on Friday, January 7, 2022.

Scouts and leaders who are camping on Friday, January 7, 2022, should plan to arrive at
Delta State between 6:00-10:00 p.m. Camping check-in will be at the Delta State University
Wyatt Gymnasium and the H.L. Nowell Student Union; leaders or families who need to
pay the college fees or make registration adjustments may do so at the Nowell Union that
evening between 6:00-9:30 p.m. Dinner on Friday night will be provided.

Saturday registration begins at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 8, 2022, at the Delta
State H.L. Nowell Student Union (50 Coahoma Street, Cleveland, MS 38732); the opening
ceremony will begin at 8:00 a.m. in the Union.

Merit badge classes will be offered over two periods, the first from 8:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
and the second from 1:00-4:30 p.m. Some merit badges are offered in one period only,
while others will meet the entire day, over both periods. Lunch will be served from 12:00-
1:00 p.m.

Registering for the Merit Badge College and Assistance
Units or individuals may register for the merit badge college. All registrations should be
placed at chickasaw.org/mbc-dsu-2022; merit badge selections and registrations options
can be made through the online registration; please note that merit badge classes that are
unlisted on the registration page are full. Please contact Merit Badge College Coordinator
Candy Davis, at deltaareameritbadgecollege@gmail.com or 662-719-9647, for any
general event questions. Please contact Chickasaw Council Program Director Johnny Tracy,
at 901-425-2217 or john.tracy@scouting.org, if you need registration assistance.

Behavioral and Dress Expectations
Scouts are expected to attend and engage in the merit badge classes for which they have
registered. All participants are expected to abide by the Scout Oath and Law during the
merit badge college. Any participant whose conduct does not meet this standard may be
asked to leave a merit badge class (without receiving credit) and/or the event. Scouts, with
the assistance of their leaders or parent(s)/guardian(s), are responsible for arriving at
their scheduled classes on time. Scouts should wear the BSA field (“Class A”) uniform at
the event.

We ask adult leaders and parents to assist us in providing additional coverage for merit
badge classes. All of our instructors are volunteering their time to provide a great program
for our Scouts, so extra supervision and support are appreciated!

Merit Badge Scheduling, Details, and Required Waivers
Merit badges are scheduled for one (morning, 8:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m., or afternoon,
1:00-4:30 p.m.) or both sessions (all day).

Merit badge instruction will follow the requirements listed by the Boy Scouts of America
for each class. The merit badge matrix in this guide lists any prerequisites or requirements
that cannot be completed at the merit badge college. While every effort will be made to
help Scouts complete as much of each badge as possible, some requirements simply cannot
be completed in a single day. Each Scout will receive a folder that contains merit badge
workbooks for the merit badges for which he or she is registered.

Several classes will meet off-campus, at various locations around Cleveland, Mississippi.
Permission and travel waivers (found on page 6), signed by Scouts’ parent(s)/
guardian(s) are required for Scouts to leave campus and be transported by merit
badge college volunteers (registered Scouters). These forms can be returned at check-in
or submitted online (visit chickasaw.org/mbc-2022-forms) before the event.
Aviation merit badge has an additional required form (page 7), which can be
completed online, too.

Merit Badge Completion and Progress Reports
Merit badge requirement completion information will be entered in Tentaroo, the
registration platform, and available for access by leaders or parents within seventy-two
hours after the merit badge college concludes. If you need assistance accessing these
records, please contact Johnny Tracy, at 901-425-2217 or john.tracy@scouting.org.
Unit leaders are responsible for following up with Scouts/families on merit badge
completions and award presentations.

Getting Around Campus and Cleveland
All Scouts and leaders will be presented with a map of Delta State University at check-in at
the merit badge college. Additionally, Scouts will receive a schedule with building and room
numbers or meeting locations for each of the merit badges for which they are registered.

Participation Fees
Registration for the merit badge college is $25.00 per Scout for Saturday only; this fee
includes lunch, a patch, and any course materials.

The adult participation fee is $10.00 per leader or parent, which covers the cost of lunch
on Saturday, at Delta State.

Youth and adults may camp at Delta State on Friday night, January 7, 2022, for an
additional fee of $10.00 per person ($35.00 total for youth; $20.00 total for adults).
The additional fee includes dinner on Friday night and a light breakfast on Saturday.

The badges offered at the Chickasaw Council Merit Badge College are listed here, along with
the address of the location (if not on the Delta State campus), and any prerequisites or
requirements that cannot be completed at the merit badge college. (Please note: We have

college (either before or after), but there may be other requirements that are not
completed, due to a variety of factors.)

participation in aviation activities involves a certain degree of risk that could result in
injury or death. I have carefully considered the risk involved and agree to hold the Boy
Scouts of America, Inc.; the Chickasaw Council, BSA; Delta State University; and their agents
and employees harmless for all personal injury which could result from participation in
this flying program.
