BSA Environmental Science (Eagle Scout!)
Saturday, January 24th
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Cost: $25 per scout, $15 per chaperone
NEW 2025 REQUIREMENTS
This merit badge workshop is open to any youth in grades 6th - 12th grade and is designed to help BSA Scouts meet requirements for the Environmental Science merit badge, an Eagle Required badge. We will be covering requirements 1, 2b, 3c, 4b, 5b, 7b, 8a, 9, and 11.
Scouts are responsible for the following pre-requisites: 2a, 2b, 6, 10. If participants do not complete these requirements ahead of time, Scouts must follow up with the counselors after the workshop to complete the requirements and received a completed blue card.
- Requirement 2a: Choose an outdoor area and observe (sight, sound, and smell) its ecosystem over a two-day period. 2b: Make notes about the living, nonliving, and formerly living components you see.
- Requirement 6 involves researching rare, threatened, or endangered species and preparing a 100-word report. Alternatively, Scouts can choose to visit a site that has been designed to improve the habitat for threatened or endangered species and prepare a report on what they saw.
- For requirement 10, Scouts must choose a construction project (such as a new house or new building at their Scout camp), identify all environmental impact topics that would need to be addressed for this project, evaluate the purpose and benefits of the project, alternative to the project (including a no-action alternative), and any environmental consequences of this project. Summarize these findings in a short report and be prepared to present them to the counselor.
All merit badge workshops are $25 per scout and $15 per chaperone unless otherwise noted. Merit badge workshops include general admission to the museum. Please note that no physical merit badges or patches will be handed out. While we encourage Scout Leaders to attend along with multiple Scouts from the same troop or pack, adult chaperones are not required to attend these workshops.
As a reminder, curriculum follows the Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America) badge requirements, but all youth of the appropriate age are welcome to attend.
