SSRLV FORESTRY MERIT BADGE
March 5-7, 2010
Schoepe Scout Reservation at Lost Valley Conservation Committee invites Scouts and Scouters (no siblings please) to a weekend of learning and helping (hands-on) the environment. The merit badge will be offered to Scouts who fully participate in this weekend’s work projects and observations. Scouts and adults are asked to help with work projects. Fees are minimal to reflect the contribution made to camp. This merit badge will give you the opportunity to learn more about the management of forestry. Qualified professional staff and counselors will be teaching this merit badge. This program includes fieldwork, short lectures and observations of nature in Lost Valley. The sign-offs will be done on Sunday morning and Scouts must be in full uniform. Scouts, who prepare and commit themselves, should complete the merit badge requirements.
The cost is $ 45 per person. Food and cabins will be provided.
Early Bird is $35 per person if fees are received by February 5, 2010.
The maximum enrolment is 40 Scouts. As always, reservations are made on a first come first sever basis. You may call at any time and check if there are any cancellations. A waiting list will be developed as needed.
