Join us for our 7th annual merit badge college on Sat. March 7th, 2026, at St. Barnabas United Methodist Church, 5011 W. Pleasant Ridge Rd. Arlington, TX 76016.  Registration opens 7:30am. Session One 8am-12pm, Lunch 12-1pm, Session Two 1-5pm.  This is an opportunity to have an introduction to over twenty-five merit badges with some of THE best merit badge counselors Arrowhead District has to offer. If you are new to a Scouting unit or trying to learn something new, we will be offering both Eagle and non-Eagle required merit badges.  Most likely, many of the merit badges will NOT be completed unless specifically stated by the merit badge counselor. We want to make you aware that you will start merit badges, but you will have to work on completing them with the counselor or a registered merit badge counselor from your unit. 

We have a large variety of merit badges that we are offering, from Art to Oceanography and a large majority of Eagle required merit badges.
