Merit Badge Midway is an one-day event for all scouts, regardless of troop, rank, or gender, to participate in learning new skills and earning merit badges towards their rank advancement. After a hiatus in 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions, the Boy Scouts of America Troop 2 of Los Gatos is excited to resume the long standing tradition of hosting Merit Badge Midway in 2021! We look forward to serving hundreds of scouts from all over Northern California as troops gradually transition from reduced and virtual scouting activities back to regular in-person meetings.

2021 Info: In accordance with state, county, and Los Gatos Union School District guidelines related to Covid-19, we kindly request all Merit Badge Midway participants (scouts, counselors, event volunteers) to abide with the following:

• Mask wearing is required when indoors (and actively enforced by counselors and MBM organizers)
• Mask wearing is optional when outdoors
• We will maintain a supply of non-medical masks in the event that anyone needs a replacement during the day
