Presently, there are 9 scouts signed up for the Climbing merit badge class
which is 3-4 hours long with a period of time for open climbing afterward
the class is finished. There is still room for 3 more scouts in the
class. If your scout is not interested in the class and just climbing,
they are welcomed to come along to climb after a short instructional
session. Scroll down for additional details. If your scout wants to
attend, please send an email to Diane Gill at diane.gill67@gmail.com by
Friday evening. A signed waiver (see below links) and permission slip
(attached) is required.
