Scouting From Home Bay Area Council

Virtual classes offered by the Bay Area Council

In an effort to help support Scouts and families as our communities suspend school and other group programs in response to COVID-19, the Bay Area Council will be offering programs ONLINE. New classes & events will be added as volunteers become available.

Once registered, Scouts will receive a link to log on. Each class/event will be provided by a registered Merit Badge Counselor. Scouts may have "homework" to complete.

For more classes, please visit www.bacbsa.org/online

All classes/events are complimentary!

OCCUPANCY: 25 max.
