Next on Dr. Alexey Root's schedule is a Chess merit badge workshop (February 27) and tournament (March 5) at the National Scouting Museum. Both Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. are required to meet the requirements for the Chess merit badge.
Registration is available at http://www.bsamuseum.org/Programs-Events/Calendar and you do not need to be a Boy Scout to register and attend. However, Boy Scouts looking to earn their Chess merit badges are the target audience.
