Excited to host Scouting America participants at Oakland University West Center as a component of the DPT Health Promotion and Wellness course.

Scouts form Southeast Michigan attend the event to earn their Personal Fitness Merit Badge… which is a requirement of the Eagle Scout rank.

The Class of 2026 DPT students were exceptional and demonstrated professionalism as the event had to pivot to a new site due to the emergency campus closure🐻🐻🐻
