Help With Boy Scout Merit Badges

PVAS members are invited to share expertise and passion for topics by being a merit badge counselor for local Boy Scout Troops. Counselors are needed for 130 merit badges. Topics include: Bird Study, Camping, Canoeing, Fish and Wildlife Management, Geology, Forestry, Mammal Study, Insect Study, Nature, Orienteering, Reptile and Amphibian Study, Soil and Water Conservation, Weather, Whitewater, Woodwork, Photography, Graphic Arts, Inventing...You get the idea, the list goes on. All 130 merit badge topics are available online at: scouting.org/meritbadges. Counselors may elect to present their topic at a Merit Badge University to be held at the Presbyterian Church in Charles Town, WV the first three Saturdays in March or volunteer to work with scouts on an ongoing basis. Have questions or want to volunteer? Please contact PVAS Youth Services Director, Jim Jenkins, at 571.209.7350 or jenkinsjim@vzw.blackberry.net. Scouts are sharp and superbly motivated. They will really appreciate your efforts.
