Once a year, the Baden Powell Institute hosts an event at the Dalton Local Elementary & Middle School designed to give Scout Leaders an in-depth look at a variety of topics that are not covered in their Formal Leader Training.  Several hundred leaders attend this event filled with training sessions and a couple dozen products & services vendors in Wayne & surrounding counties.  The Wayne College 3D Lab has been proud to be part of this event the past couple of years (and this year’s event, too!).

3D printing is a hot topic for scouts in which the skill can be earned into a badge.  For example, see how an Arizona Boy Scout troop is using a 3D printer to create prosthetic hands for those in need:
