Attention Scoutmasters and Troop Leaders,
The Maryland Blockchain Association is proud to invite your Scouts to a premier educational event this summer: the Maryland BlockchAIn Bootcamp & Workforce Expo.
Held from July 13 to July 17, 2026, at Capitol Technology University, this five-day intensive is designed to prepare the next generation for the future of technology, specifically in the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain, and Cybersecurity.
A Unique Merit Badge Opportunity
This year, we have aligned our workshops and guest speakers to help your Scouts fulfill requirements for several high-demand Merit Badges. By attending the bootcamp, Scouts can work toward:
Artificial Intelligence (New for 2026): Meet the "Career Exploration" requirements by interviewing industry leaders and see "Agentic AI" in action.
Cybersecurity: Learn about decentralized security and encryption—the backbone of blockchain technology.
Programming: Gain hands-on experience with coding logic used in smart contracts and machine learning.
Digital Technology: Explore the history and future of digitization with experts from the Maryland Attorney General’s Working Group.
Citizenship in the World: Engage with our visiting international delegations, including the Embassy of Estonia, to learn about global trade and digital diplomacy.
Complimentary Access for Scouts
We believe that leadership and technical literacy should be accessible to all. In support of local Scouting, we are offering complimentary 5-day tickets to active Boy Scouts and their troop leaders.
