Insect Study (Boy Scout Merit Badge) Accent Coffee Mug

Insect Study (Boy Scout Merit Badge) The "Insect Study" merit badge is a part of the Boy Scouts of America's (BSA) program, designed to help young male scouts learn about various insect species and their importance in ecosystems. Earning this merit badge involves studying insect biology, behavior, classification, and role in the environment, as well as safe handling techniques for observation. The goal is to foster a greater appreciation and understanding of these small but vital creatures in our world. Scouts typically engage in hands-on activities such as collecting specimens, observing insect habitats, and conducting simple experiments under the guidance of a qualified adult. This merit badge contributes to the overall scouting objective of promoting practical skills, character development, and citizenship within its members.
