NEW: Environmental Science Digital Resource Guide

The Environmental Science Merit Badge now has a new Digital Resource Guide!

Designed to expand on the traditional merit badge pamphlet, the guide gives Scouts and merit badge counselors an interactive way to explore the requirements and find resources that support hands-on learning.

The new guide includes:

Interactive graphics and guides
Resources covering ecology, pollination, endangered species, and more
Tools to support experiments and environmental investigations
Templates and resources to help Scouts complete requirements
Information about special awards connected to Environmental Science
Videos, helpful links, and learning tools for different learning styles

For merit badge counselors and troop leaders, the Digital Resource Guide can be especially useful when planning activities, finding supporting materials, or helping Scouts explore a requirement in greater depth.

Environmental Science is about more than learning environmental concepts. Scouts get opportunities to observe the natural world, investigate how people interact with the environment, and consider solutions to real environmental challenges.
