Boy Scout Troop 142 held its annual Merit Badge Fair, sponsored by Exelon, on August 12, 2017 at the Clinton Power Station.
Scouts could choose from a variety of merit badges including NuclearScience, Engineering, Electricity, First Aid, Fire Safety, Radio, Search and Rescue, as well as others. A total of 25 class choices were available to the boys, with several being taught by Clinton Power Station
employees.
Boys from all over the state of Illinois as well as surrounding states were invited to participate.
In addition to the merit badge classes, participants were also given a tour of the Simulator as well as a demonstration from Deputy Bryan Morgan (DeWitt County Sheriff’s office) and his K-9 partner, Drax.
