Scout Nights

About the Event

Twice a year, the Parker Police Department hosts merit badge training for Boy and Girl Scout troops in the area. The training includes scout requirements for various areas.

Each section of the training will take approximately 25 minutes with the scout pack/dens rotating through the four sections.

Due to the large number of scouts expected to attend we ask that only scouts, troop leaders and chaperones register and attend the event.

Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Walk-ins will not be accepted. Scout leaders and groups must check-in at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the program.
