Company hosts 62nd Boy Scout Merit Badge Clinic

We Energies hosted its 62nd annual Boy Scout Electricity Merit Badge Clinic in the Public Service Building auditorium on Dec. 12. The company has hosted the clinics for more than six decades, dating back to 1954.

More than 60 scouts attended the clinic, completing 11 requirements, from building electromagnets to wiring a basic circuit, to earn their electricity merit badges. Scouts also had to pass a written test covering basic electrical principles and safety. Nearly two dozen We Energies employees volunteered their time to help the scouts.
