A weekly program featuring the people, events, programs and history that make Monmouth College an outstanding, national liberal arts college… all within 18 minutes and 53 seconds.
Merit Badge University instructor Simon Anderson shows Scout Elaina Wilson, 11, of Bettendorf, Iowa, how to use her camera’s settings in the Center for Science and Business at Monmouth College. Wilson was one of 288 Boy Scouts from the region who came to Monmouth College on Saturday, March 9, to participate in Merit Badge University. The youth were members of five Boy Scout councils in Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin who worked on a merit badge in 30 subjects. Anderson was one of more than 100 adult volunteers who taught the course. Merit Badge University is led by Kathy Mainz, who has overseen the daylong program since 2015. Mainz recently retired as the College’s biology lab manager.
