7 boys of Troop 275 attended a merit badge college at Winthrop University over April 1-3. Each boy earned two merit badges over this weekend, amounting to 14 total merit badges. In addition to this, the entire troop participated in the Ultimate Frisbee competition, and while we didn’t win, we still had fun and developed some calf muscles at the same time.
There was also a college baseball stadium not far away, and several boys were treated to a free baseball game between the Winthrop Eagles and the Liberty Flames. (Winthrop won!)
