Assisting with the 2009 Scout Merit Badge PowWow are the following groups:

• Brigham Young University
• Utah National Parks Council
• Utah Valley University

IMPORTANT NOTE: The merit badge program is one of Boy Scouting's basic character-development tools. Earning merit badges gives a boy the kind of confidence that comes from learning and developing skills to achieve a goal. The relationship between counselors and Scouts is the key to the success of the merit badge plan. At this PowWow, group instruction and orientation are encouraged where special and expert personnel make this most practical; however, this group exercise should be accompanied by local attention to each candidate’s projects and his ability to fulfill all requirements. Attending group instruction does not necessarily qualify a Scout for any merit badge. In order for an activity like a merit badge powwow to be successful, parents, unit leaders, unit advancement committees, and district advancement committees must support a Scout by seeing that qualified merit badge counselors are involved before, during, and after a group learning experience.

BYU Continuing Education programs do not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, or ethnic or national origin, but all registrants must maintain the standards of Brigham Young University, Utah Valley University, and the Boy Scouts of America.
