The fourth annual STEM Merit Badge College was held on campus last weekend, providing regional Boy Scouts with an opportunity to earn up to three badges each in a variety of science-, technology-, engineering- and mathematics-related activities. Sponsored by Penn College and the Susquehanna Council, Boy Scouts of America, the popular event offers an exciting blend of well-equipped instructional labs and knowledgeable mentors. Among this year’s options were electricity, landscape architecture, plumbing, welding, chemistry, dentistry and graphic arts.
