Virtual Fish and Wildlife Merit Badge

WHAT: Through hands on activities and class discussion, this  Merit Badge will provide Scouts with an understanding and appreciation of Fish and Wildlife conservation. Scouts will learn about skills, conservation  groups and projects they can engage in from home to help conserve the fish and wildlife in their community. 

 Meet your Counselor -  Kevin Thompson has an Associate’s Degree in Environmental Science. He has also been involved in providing a quality scouting program at council summer camps since 2009 at Cachalot Scout Reservation, and now at Camp Norse where he serves as the Camp Director. Kevin is also an Eagle Scout out of Troop 48 Carver, and is now a Scoutmaster and Cubmaster working in our 1910 Scoutreach District.

WHO: Open to all Scouts BSA members

HOW:  The Fish and Wildlife Merit Badge will be taught in a virtual classroom. The class has a capacity of 12 Scouts. Small classroom size provides all students with the opportunity to share and interact with the counselors and other Scouts. Scouts should be prepared to be challenged and to join the conversation ! Participants who do not engage with the class may not receive credit for the badge.

WHEN: This class will be held virtually over one session:

April 3, 2020 5:00PM-7:00PM 

Scouts must attend full session to complete the offered requirements.

After registering, Scouts will receive a link and login information via email. Scouts will also receive instructor details that can be used to connect to the counselor on Scoutbook. This assures that completed requirements are easily recorded.
