Career Exploration Merit Badge Day, 6/17

Join us for a day of career exploration while earning merit badges, brought to you by the Verdugo Hills Advancement Committee!

Many of our staffers are professionals in their respective merit badge sessions, including officers and technicians from the Glendale Police Department. Whether Scouts are considering career options or exploring new topics, this is an opportunity to ask questions and learn from authorities in these fields. Counselors are looking forward to meeting your Scout!
