Spade Ranch Adventure is designed for older youth who have already experienced everything merit badge camp has to offer, which is why we have not incorporated any merit badges into the program. Scouts who are interested in working on climbing merit badge requirements at Spade Ranch may do so, but must start the climbing merit badge with another merit badge counselor before their week at camp. Spade Ranch are not able to sign any advancement paperwork at camp.
