HOSTED BY THE LOCAL #10 SHEET METAL WORKERS UNION

The Sheet Metal Workers Union – Local #10 is hosting a trades merit badge series in the fall of 2018. The series will offer Scouts the opportunity to take 1-4 Merit Badges in a 6 week span. Scouts can take 1, 2, 3, or all 4 merit badges during the series. The series will take place at the Local #10 training center in White Bear Lake. Teachers and professionals from the training center and the union will be teaching the classes, and most of them also have a history with Scouting here in Northern Star.
