Below is the information that I have received about the Aviation Merit Badge program offered by the Youth Aviation Adventure program later this year.
If anyone is interested, please contact me and we will set up a coordinator and actively solicit other Scouts to take part. If no one contacts me, this is that last you will hear about this from me this year.
This is a wonderful program and lots of fun for the Scouts (and the parents who get to go along.) Scouts can earn Merit Badges at any age but connot wear them on a sash until they earn their First Class rank.
I always welcome your questions or concerns.

Registration is now open for Aviation Merit Badge on May 5th, 2012 at the OSU Airport (Don Scott Field).
The program runs from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and consists of ten stations which cover the topics discussed in the Aviation Merit Badge handbook. Scouts will spend about twenty minutes at each station and should come prepared to discuss each station’s topic.
Troops should coordinate their registration so that each unit has a single ‘Unit Coordinator’. This person will be responsible for administering the pre-test, scoutmaster approvals and managing blue cards.
Admission to the program is $5, which is paid online when you register. Registration closes May 2nd or when full. Because most of the program is conducted indoors, it will be held regardless of weather. At the end of the program, you will have completed the requirements for your aviation merit badge. You do not need to bring a blue card to the program, we will provide them.
