The information below is from the Rocky River Nature Center about the free merit badge program Connor Jones worked with the Metroparks on securing. Great job Connor!
Please fill out and bring the Metroparks waiver with you during scout drop-off. The waiver is available on our site at this link: http://www.troop664northolmstedohio.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Merit_Badge_WAIVER_Aug-2017.pdf . Parents are welcome to stay, but DO NOT need to stay, as long as they have a waiver for your scout.
