Have you ever wondered how a radio works? How the sound gets from the microphone in the studio to your receiver at home? Why some radio waves travel a long distance and others do not? Then the Radio Merit Badge Center is for you.

It will be held on two Saturdays, Feb. 4 and 11, at Parkway North High School,
12860 Fee Fee Rd., St. Louis, 63146. Check-in is 8 a.m. on the first Saturday.
Activities conclude with a radio station tour ending at approximately 4 p.m. The
second Saturday is reserved for Scouts to meet individually with merit badge counselors for requirements sign-off. Scouts must attend both days.

Scouts must be Second Class or higher. A signed merit badge card must be
presented at the door at the first session — this will be the Scout’s ticket to attend.
No Scout will be allowed to continue without one. Each Scout must bring a sack
lunch.

Preregistration is required. Use the form below and include a stamped self-addressed No. 10 envelope with the registration form. Registration can also be made by email to hschaper@sbcglobal.net, and then an envelope is not required.

The Stamp Collecting Merit Badge Workshop will take place Saturday, March 17, at the Renaissance St. Louis Hotel, 9801 Natural Bridge Rd., St. Louis, 63134, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Held in conjunction with the annual St. Louis Stamp Expo, the workshop provides a unique opportunity to meet stamp dealers and collectors, view 3,000 pages of philatelic exhibits, and attend seminars and a public auction. This workshop is open to both those Scouts who have already formed stamp collections and those just starting to collect.

The $5 registration fee covers admission to the Stamp Expo and the Souvenir Expo Cover. Scouts may stay after the workshop is completed until the Stamp Expo closes at 6 p.m. (Lunch is not provided.)

Space is limited to the first 20 Scouts registering by March 2. There will be no refunds for Scouts who fail to attend. Participants should bring a current Stamp Collecting merit badge pamphlet and must bring their troop-approved merit badge card.
This is a Class A uniform event. Those wishing to complete the requirements for the badge at the workshop must bring the materials required to fulfill requirements 3, 8 and one part of requirement 7 (7b will be completed during the workshop). Instruction is provided for beginning collectors.

Attendance at the workshop does NOT guarantee that you will pass the requirements for the merit badge.
