The Stamp Collecting Merit Badge Workshop will take place Saturday, March 17, at the Renaissance St. Louis Hotel, 9801 Natural Bridge Rd., St. Louis, 63134, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Held in conjunction with the annual St. Louis Stamp Expo, the workshop provides a unique opportunity to meet stamp dealers and collectors, view 3,000 pages of philatelic exhibits, and attend seminars and a public auction. This workshop is open to both those Scouts who have already formed stamp collections and those just starting to collect.
The $5 registration fee covers admission to the Stamp Expo and the Souvenir Expo Cover. Scouts may stay after the workshop is completed until the Stamp Expo closes at 6 p.m. (Lunch is not provided.)
Space is limited to the first 20 Scouts registering by March 2. There will be no refunds for Scouts who fail to attend. Participants should bring a current Stamp Collecting merit badge pamphlet and must bring their troop-approved merit badge card.
This is a Class A uniform event. Those wishing to complete the requirements for the badge at the workshop must bring the materials required to fulfill requirements 3, 8 and one part of requirement 7 (7b will be completed during the workshop). Instruction is provided for beginning collectors.
Attendance at the workshop does NOT guarantee that you will pass the requirements for the merit badge.
For more information, contact David L. Straight at 314-993-9693 or dls@mophil.org
