Environmental Science Scout Merit Badge (Virtual Program)

A digital workshop broadcast by Mote Marine Laboratory enables Scouts to fulfill the requirements for the Environmental Science Merit Badge. The live, interactive session covers ecological principles, pollution prevention, and resource conservation through guided instruction and discussion. Participants receive an advance workbook and a list of household items needed to complete several remote, hands-on experiments during the broadcast. The virtual format allows students to engage with marine educators and complete their badge criteria comprehensively without needing to travel to the City Island campus.
