On May 14, 2011 four Boy Scouts of Troop 103 participated in a Forestry merit badge class at Laurel Caverns, PA. All earned their Forestry merit badge after completing all the necessary requirements for the badge. In order to earn the badge, the scouts had to complete a packet on the trees native to our country and answer questions about the protection of our forests and demonstrate knowledge of trees and other plants. After they completed the packet, the scouts went with their merit badge counselor and collected leaf samples of many different local trees. All four scouts enjoyed themselves and would recommend the merit badge to all other scouts who plan to visit Laurel Caverns. Submitted by: ME
