Chess for Scouts

Scouting organizations such as Scouts BSA, Girl Scouts, American Heritage Girls, Trail Life, and others provide a venue for youth to learn chess in a structured setting on request.  To date, only Scouts BSA has an official Chess Merit Badge.  HRCA can provide a certified Chess Merit Badge Counselor in person or via Zoom for individual youth, troops, districts, or councils in our region that wish to earn this badge, including hosting chess events for groups.  Contact us for more information or to arrange an event.

There is no charge for this service!

We can also introduce chess to Cub Scout dens and packs!
