Baden Powell Camp offers the opportunity to work on up to six merit badges, both Eagle required and non-required. Located at Belzer Scout Camp on the northeast side of Indianapolis, the camp operates Monday through Thursday from 8:45 AM to 3:00 PM. The cost is $70.00 for each four day session, or $135.00 for two four day sessions.
The Baden Powell program is an accelerated, intensive learning environment, so it is strongly recommended that Scouts be First Class or higher when taking the Eagle required merit badges. Scouts may be required to take classroom notes, tests, and/or have out of class assignments to complete merit badge requirements. Most of the classes have prerequisites which must be completed either prior to coming to Baden Powell or done afterwards. These prerequisites are listed with the schedule. Scouts will receive a partial when the prerequisites are not turned in or Scouts do not show proficiency in the open-book, open-note tests given in some classes. These tests are used to show that the Scouts have a good working knowledge of the merit badge. Completed merit badge cards will be given when Scouts have finished all the requirements.
