Please Note: Boy Scouts are expected to arrive in uniform for all workshops. If completing merit badge requirements, scouts must come prepared with the merit badge series book, filled out merit badge application and any required pre-requisites completed prior to workshop. A certified merit badge counselor will be on staff to verify badge completion if all criteria for that badge are met. The New Detroit Science Center merit badge counselor reserves the right to give only partial credit or no credit if all of the above requirements are not met. If registering for a merit badge workshop, a complete list of pre-requisites will be mailed to the troop leader upon registration for the workshop. It is then the responsibility of each troop leader to give all of the information to the scouts in his troop.
