Climbing Merit Badge details

For the Climbing Merit Badge, it is only available to a minimum of  4 or max of 12 scouts.

Cost is an additional $60/Scout for those wishing to earn the badge - select the field for this when registering if you wish to earn the climbing merit badge.
 
For Climbing MB, start time is 6pm (two hours prior to the start of the lock-in), working separately with our trained and certified guides. This means you have to get to SportRock before the rest of the troop.
 
After learning and practicing all the skills, participants will rejoin the main group and complete their requisite climbs
