HII’s (NYSE: HII) Ingalls Shipbuilding division hosted an inaugural
Scout merit badge day, fostering the next generation of leaders
while nurturing the values of hard work, dedication, commitment,
and community engagement, shared by both shipbuilding and Scouting.
“We were thrilled to host our first merit badge day at Ingalls
and to have the opportunity to nurture the skills and values of
these young boys and girls enrolled in scout programs,” Ingalls
Shipbuilding Community Relations Manager Lisa Bradley said.
“Through initiatives like the Scout merit badge day, we aim to
inspire and support the next generation of shipbuilders.”
The event, held at the Ingalls Shipbuilding Maritime Training
Academy, welcomed over 100 Scouts and Scout leaders from across the
Gulf Coast region, offering them the opportunity to choose from
eight areas of interest and earn two badges. Each Scout
participated in two merit badge classes of their choice ranging
from engineering, drafting, fire safety, painting, plumbing,
communications, electricity and electronics.

Eagle Scout and Ingalls Shipbuilding Vice President of Quality
and Engineering Brian Blanchette also expressed enthusiasm for the
event and the values of leadership and skill development
exemplified by Scouting.
“As an engineer by trade and Eagle Scout, I can attest to how
the core principles instilled in Scouting — such as teamwork,
problem solving, and attention to detail — have prepared me for a
successful career in shipbuilding,” Blanchette said. “Today’s event
showcased how Scouting molds individuals into capable professionals
ready to tackle any challenge, and I am proud to work for a company
that believes in empowering our young Scouts.”

over 11,000 employees, Ingalls Shipbuilding is dedicated to
