The .918 Club invites you to earn the Graphic Arts Merit Badge using the almost 600-year-old letterpress printing process. With minimal preparation, Scouts can leave at the end of the workshop with their merit badge requirements completed.

The merit badge pamphlet explains everything a Scout needs to know to complete the requirements for this merit badge.

This workshop fills up fast, so register by contacting Ken Kulakowsky to check availability as soon as possible. The workshop costs $20, which covers all materials necessary to complete the badge, including a t-shirt and postage for returning your printed project & merit badge card.
