Attention to all Scouts who are interested in earning the Robotics merit badge!

Our troop’s robotics merit badge counselor, Mr. Charron, is teaming up with Wize Computing Academy to provide each scout with the opportunity to operate a fully equipped modern robotics workstation to build, program and test their very own robot and earn robotics merit badge.

Wize Computing Academy had taught robotics merit badge to hundreds of scouts across the country and is offering it for the first time here in Southlake.

Fee: $50 all materials included.

Deadline to register: August 25^th. Workshop limit of 20 scouts.

Zipline Campout

Come along and complete a 2-hour, 9 zipline challenge course at New York, Texas Ziplines (https://www.goziptexas.com/).  We'll meet at 6:00 pm at White's Chapel parking lot on Friday, 9/25, to depart by 6:30 pm.  We will be camping at the Circle 10 council  Trevor Rees-Jones Scout Camp, where we have a nice campsite reserved next to the lake.  On Saturday morning we'll cook a hot breakfast, then drive 30 minutes to the zipline facility, where we'll complete the 9 zipline challenge course.  Afterwards we'll have a cold lunch, then head back to the campsite.  In the afternoon / evening scouts can fish, work on rank advancement, or just have fun in the woods.  We'll have a campfire Saturday night, then on Sunday morning have a cold breakfast, chapel, then head home.  We'll plan to arrive at the Hobby Lobby parking lot around Noon.

Day of check-in before the rain.

Scouts can now earn the Artificial Intelligence merit badge and the Cybersecurity merit badge.

The Merit Badge program have long presented scouts with the opportunity to sharpen skills and explore new subjects.

Scouting America is adding the new badges as part of a broader effort to stay relevant in an increasingly digital world.

The new badges aren’t Scouting America’s first foray into AI. It launched an AI chatbot called Scoutly over the summer to answer questions about the organization and its merit badges.
