CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES ARE PART OF
EVERY RANK IN CUB SCOUTS,
THE BOY SCOUT TRAIL TO FIRST CLASS & MERIT BADGES
AND MANY VENTURING AWARDS .
Click text above for BSA Scouting and Conservation Factsheet.

ScoutingTexas.com - map shows locations of conservation: projects, merit badges, and more...

Would you like to see the BSA adopt cloth knots for the Hornaday Badge and Gold Badge?

Please e-mail me your thoughts on why (multiple uniforms and only 1 pin awarded, pin can be lost or stick the wearer, more likely to wear the knot on the uniform thus promoting this conservation award, etc...) to jszpakowski@comcast.net.
