MBU Sponsorship

We Need Sponsors

When you choose to sponsor MBU, you’re doing more than supporting a single event—you’re investing in the growth and development of Scouts. Sponsorships help us keep costs affordable, provide resources for quality instruction, and ensure that every Scout has the opportunity to explore new skills and earn merit badges. Your support directly impacts young people by fostering curiosity, leadership, and confidence that last a lifetime.

We offer a range of sponsorship levels designed to meet the needs of individuals, families, and businesses. Whether you want to make a personal contribution or highlight your organization’s commitment to youth and community, there’s a sponsorship opportunity that’s right for you. Together, we can continue to make MBU a meaningful and memorable experience for every Scout who attends. Below is a list of the various sponsorship levels along with the benefits of each level.
