Merit Badges
Some local places to work on merit badges.
Jurupa Mountains Discovery Center
Nearly every weekend JMDC sponsors Boy Scout Merit Badge programs. On Saturdays, our programs begin at 9:00 am or 1:00 pm, and on Sundays, our programs begin at 1:00 pm. Generally, the merit badge program’s length is 3-4 hours. Cost per Merit Badge program is $20 due at registration. Call our office to register, 951.685.5818. Please visit our DOWNLOAD page to get a copy of the merit badge overview for your chosen merit badge. Remember – Be Prepared! Have a copy of the Merit Badge Handbook and have completed as many of the requirements as you can or are expected in the overview. This will help you to get a complete signed Blue Card at the end of the day. If you do not complete all of the merit badge requirements, you will have a partially signed Blue Card with items to complete. When you have completed those requirements send/bring them into the office with a self-addressed and stamped envelope to have your Blue Card signed and returned to you.
