The Utah Botanical Center and Utah House offer several programs which teach boy and girl scouts about the world around them while helping them earn badges. For most of the Merit Badge Workshops that we offer, all of the requirements for the badge are completed during the one-day workshop. To sign up for a Scout Merit Badge Workshop, please contact Jayne Mulford at 801-544-3089 or jayne.mulford@usu.edu. All Workshops are held at the Utah House located at 920 South 50 West, Kaysville.
