The Longs Peak Council of the Boy Scouts of America provides bi-monthly programs to the youth that allows the development of essential skills needed by youth to engage in a meaningful camp and outdoor experience.  Meetings consist of a combination of skill development through merit badges, team building, citizenship and leadership development based on established curriculum.  It also allows the time needed to develop life skills, relationship with other youth, citizenship, adult association, and building resilience. Development of skills using the Merit Badge program has been established through the Tuft Study to build resilience. The program has been allowing youth to try things that they normally might not experience.  The structure allows them to work through and complete requirements related to the subject being studied.  The programs are developed by educators and subject matter experts and are regularly reviewed and revised.  The merit badges allow youth to taste test up to 135 different subjects. Merit badges for this program will be selected based on current program needs of the partners and the interest of the youth in the program.
