DOG CARE
MERIT BADGE CENTER
Have fun earning a merit badge while hanging
with a bunch of dogs. Join us at the Humane
Society of Missouri as we sniff through all the
requirements needed to earn your Dog Care
Merit Badge! Unleash your creativity and have a
howling good time meeting our shelter dogs all
while learning facts about first aid, tips on being
a terrific pet parent, tricks on training and even
how-tos concerning rescuing dogs! Earning a
merit badge has never been this much fun, and
we’re sure
you’ll give it two-paws up! Scoop up some fun
stuff to take home too!
The merit badge center is on Saturday, Feb. 18,
9 a.m. to noon, at the Humane Society of
Missouri Headquarters Classroom (lower level),
1201 Macklind Ave., St. Louis.
Cost is $15 per person at the door and includes
materials, handouts and an invaluable Pet First
Aid Book from the American Red Cross and the
Humane Society of the United States ($12.95
value).
To register, call the Humane Society’s
education department at 314-951-1572
REGESTRATION BEGINS JAN. 17
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.
