​If your Scout needs their BLUE card signed from a previous class (or you needed to complete additional items), please come early at 9:45 am on any scheduled clinic date and Mr. Dean will help you with your BLUE card.
ATTIRE:
Scouts not have to wear their Class A uniforms -- though some do. Class "B" (Scout related T-shirt) is fine. (Remember, you do not have to be a Boy Scout to attend.) Casual wear is recommended.

The field of Graphic Arts includes many kinds of work in the printing and publishing industries. Graphic arts professionals are involved in the creation of all kinds of printed communication, from business cards to books to billboards. The scope of printing communications is huge.
 
Please bring your own filled-in blue card and review the badge requirements prior to attending the clinic at  meritbadge.org/Graphic_Arts and be prepared to actively participate. It would be helpful to have a specific group or tribe on which to focus, along with reference materials to use at the workshop.

Please bring your own filled-in blue card and review the requirements prior to attending the clinic at meritbadge.org/Game_Design and be prepared to actively participate – this is not a “listen-to-a-guy-talk-for-two-hours-and-get-a-patch” class. ​

MODEL DESIGN & BUILDING clinic with Dean White

By earning the Model Design & Building Merit Badge, you will learn that model making, the art of creating copies of objects that are either smaller or larger than the objects they represent, is not only an enjoyable and educational hobby: it is widely used in the professional world for such things as creating special effects for movies, developing plans for buildings, and designing automobiles and airplanes.
 
Please bring your own filled-in blue card and review the badge requirements prior to attending the clinic at meritbadge.org/Model_Design_and_Building 
​and be prepared to actively participate. It is highly suggested that you arrive with an idea (with sketches!) for the two models you will build.
