Citizenship Merit Badge Program at the University of Alabama
Saturday, February 28, 2026



As the United States of America celebrates 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Black Warrior Council presents Scouts a dynamic opportunity to work on requirements for Citizenship in the Community, Nation, and World. Eagle Scouts on the staff and faculty of the University of Alabama have volunteered to teach classes to help our Scouts earn these important Eagle-Required merit badges. Scouts will have the chance to complete most– if not, all– of a select Citizenship merit badge.
Cost:
$15 covers lunch and instructional materials. Any leftover funds go directly back to the Black Warrior Council to help our Scouts.

Gathering Location:
Gorgas House Museum:
