Commissioner's Road to Advancement Acadamy

Over the years many Scoutmasters have asked for programs for their older boys to keep them interested in Scouting and coming to camp. The Commissioner's Road to Advancement Academy (CRAA) is a program designed to help get your older Scouts back to camp and kick-started on their Eagle required merit badges. It also will motivate and assist them in the continuation of their badge when they return home from camp.

CRAA offers only merit badges that are required for Eagle. In order to take these badges at Wente Scout Reservation a Scout must be at least 14 years old and at least Star in rank. There are no exceptions to this rule.
