The MU/BDGSC (Black Diamond Girl Scout Council) Badge College event was created by Dr. Kelli Johnson at the request of Marshall University’s then President, Dr. Jerome Gilbert, and was organized to give Girl Scouts an opportunity to work on up to two badges on one day in workshops led by Marshall University faculty and staff and/or BDGSC Counselors. The first event was held on the Huntington, WV, campus in the fall of 2019.
