Pottery (Boy Scout Merit Badge) Accent Coffee Mug

Pottery (Boy Scout Merit Badge) The "Pottery" merit badge is one of over 100 skill-based achievements offered by the Boy Scouts of America as part of its merit badge program. This badge focuses on introducing scouts to various pottery techniques, including hand building, wheel throwing, and glazing. By earning this badge, scouts learn about clay preparation, pottery tools, firing methods, and artistic design principles. The ultimate goal is for the scouts to demonstrate their understanding by creating a series of functional or decorative pieces and presenting them to their merit badge counselor for evaluation. The Pottery merit badge helps foster creativity, patience, and practical skills in young people.
