Boy Scout Council Volunteer Opportunity

Merit Badge counselors are needed for Troop 420 in Charles Town as well as the local Boy Scout Council.

Here are some topics for which Master Naturalists would excel as counselors: Animal Science, Astronomy, Bird Study, Environmental Science, Fish and Wildlife Management, Forestry, Geology, Insect Study, Mammal Study, Nature, Oceanography, Orienteering, Photography, Reptile and Amphibian Study, Soil and Water Conservation, Weather... Following site has requirements and record keeping sheets for each badge: meritbadge. org/wiki/index.php/Merit_Badge_Worksheets. 

I hope that all of you will take advantage of this opportunity to share your expertise and passion with the younger generation. Your efforts would also help the next generation to protect, cherish and appreciate things we hold dear. Boys will be super motivated and deeply appreciative. Please help.
