Voyageurs Area Scouting continues to work to connect partner organizations with Scouting volunteers to offer Merit Badge opportunities throughout the year. Using the Merit Badge program, program partners engage youth in a deeper understanding of a vocation or hobby tied to their mission and purpose as an organization.
