Tomorrow, we join scouts and supporters around the country in celebrating Scouting America’s 115^th anniversary! Mizzou is a longtime partner of Scouting America, and we are proud to help them impact the next generation – including our local scouts in the Great Rivers Council.

Each year since 2010, we have collaborated with Scouting America to host Mizzou Merit Badge University. From across the state and region, over 1,000 scouts visit our campus to earn merit badges by attending courses that reflect the range of hands-on programs offered at Mizzou. The topics range from robotics and space exploration to art and citizenship. Many are taught by our world-class faculty and graduate students.

Congratulations to Scouting America for this remarkable achievement! We look forward to many more years of working together to prepare bold leaders for our state and nation.
