Fall 2025 MBS
We are very pleased to announce the Troop 9 Merit Badge Seminar at The High School of Saint Thomas More, Champaign, IL on November 15, 2025. Registration will open on Wednesday, September 17 at 7:30 PM CST and closes on October 12. The registration link and instructions will be posted here by September 10.
The High School of St. Thomas More (STM) has allowed us to use its facility again this year. We have provided a good selection of Eagle and non-Eagle merit badges at this site to facilitate needs.
Registration will go live Wednesday, September 17th, at 7:30PM CST. The registration link can be found here, Holy Cross Troop 9 MBS Registration @ STM. It is suggested that you create an account prior to signing up. This can be done here, Signup Genius Register Account. We will have a couple of people checking our MBS registration email when everything goes live. If there are issues or questions, please contact us.
*Doors at STM will open at 7:00am to start checking people in. Classes will begin at 8:00am*
We are planning to have a few offsite classes at Parkland College and IBEW Local 601. The bus for the morning classes will leave at 7:45am sharp.
*We are happy to share that registration will be $30. The Astronomy class will have an additional $10 fee. Information on making payments will be emailed following registration.*
Here are a few notes for this year:
- The STM class schedule will be uploaded soon.
- We will use Signup Genius for registration. On registration day, simply sign up for the desired quantity of each class section - no need to tell us which seats are for which scouts at this point. This should greatly speed up the registration day process. We will follow up in the days after registration to collect the rest of the information and payment.
- Initial Max Seat Limit: To provide the greatest opportunities for scouts from all troops to attend popular classes, troops may sign up for no more than 5 seats in any one class on the first day of registration. After the first day, this limit will be removed and all remaining seats will be available.
- Tentative classes being offered
- Note: We are still finalizing counselors for a few classes, so the class schedule is subject to change.
- Homework: We hope to have the homework list available soon.
- Onsite Adults: Each troop should have at least two adults who can attend a class to help supervise. We will need adults in Citizenship in Society to help facilitate the discussions.
- Cheese pizza, chips, and cookies will be provided. We are in the process of finalizing the logistics of lunch and where troops will be able to eat.
We are very excited to see you,
Troop 9
