About 125 Boy Scouts attended Saturday’s 2016 Susquehanna Council STEM Merit Badge College on main campus, earning up to two merit badges under the supervision of nearly two-dozen Penn College faculty members. Organized by Brian D. Walton, assistant dean of business and hospitality, and Thomas C. Heffner, assistant dean of sciences, humanities and visual communications: programs, the daylong event showcased the college’s phenomenal hands-on facilities and the knowledgeable mentors who work within them. Local Scouts were joined by their counterparts from Pittsburgh, Johnstown, Scranton and Philadelphia.
