IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ.

THERE WILL BE NO MERIT BADGE UNIVERSITY IN 2025.

Due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict with an event hosted by Chattahoochee Council, we regretfully must cancel Alpha Phi Omega - Delta Chapter's 2025 Merit Badge University previously planned for March 1, 2025 at Auburn University. This is not a decision that was reached lightly, but it is one that we feel is in the best interest of all involved. We share in your disappointment, and we are looking forward to our next opportunity to serve you and Scouting. We wish to publicly thank the members of the Merit Badge University Committee for the hours of work and effort they poured into this project.

All troops attending MBU are required to register using the online registration and payment options. We no longer accept mailed registrations. Please look over the Questions page before going any further. You will find out information concerning online registration.

Class Information In order to speed up the registration process, we have created a page that allows you to view the current class availability. Additionally, you will find information on classes with prerequisites and age requirements. more...
