Forest Conservation Award for Boy and Girl Scouts
The purpose of the Forest Conservation Award program is to make scouts more aware of the many
tangible and intangible benefits received from our forests and to give them an opportunity to learn
more about this valuable natural resource. This program recognizes both Boy and Girl Scouts in
Pennsylvania for their outstanding efforts in completing merit badges, patches, and projects
associated with our natural resources. Upon completion of the outlined requirements, scouts receive
an 8½" x 11" parchment certificate and a multicolored shoulder patch.

Boy Scouts of America Forest Conservation Award Information

The purpose of this award is to make scouts more aware of the many tangible and intangible
benefits received from our forests and to give them an opportunity to learn more about this valuable
natural resource. To qualify for the award, a Boy Scout must earn the Forestry merit badge plus two
forestry-related merit badges. A scout can receive the award by earning the Forestry merit badge
and any two of the following badges:
Nature, Woodwork, Wilderness Survival, Environmental Science, Pulp and Paper, Orienteering, Soil &
Water Conservation, Insect Study, Botany, Landscape Architecture, Plant Science, or Weather.
Each council produces its own application. To expedite the processing of the applications, the
following items must be included:
1. Name of Scout printed neatly or typed.
2. Complete address of where the troop meets.
3. Time and day of week they meet.
4. Scoutmaster's home phone number and mailing address
5. Completion date of the Forestry merit badge and the names and completion dates of any two of
the appropriate merit badges.
6. IMPORTANT: Council approval. We like to communicate with the council rather than the individual
troops. We will not approve an application that is not confirmed by the council.
