This past Saturday, November 15, the Patriots’ Path Council Advancement Committee held the 2025 Merit Badge eXtravaganza—and what a day it was! More than 180 Scouts from across the council and nearby areas came together at Morristown High School to dive into over 20 different merit badges.

One of the biggest highlights was the debut of the brand-new Artificial Intelligence Merit Badge. It drew a lot of excitement and quickly became a favorite among the Scouts who took part.

A heartfelt thank-you to Event Chair CV Vyas for bringing everything together so smoothly, and to Merit Badge Dean Dan Ambrosiani for building a schedule that kept Scouts busy, learning, and having fun all day long.
