Gardening Merit Badge June 23th 6:30 pm Meeting @ Spring Vally Greenhouses |  |
If you didn't make the meeting on June 12th at Mr. Skrotzki's house please contact him so you can make up that meeting.
We will be meeting June 23rd at 6:30 pm at Spring Vally Nursery for our tour of the facility. This will take care of requrement #4 for the Merit Badge.
You should have read a big portion of the merit badge book by now in preperation for requirement #2 and Requirement #5.
The seeds you have started for requirement #1 & #3 should by now have started to come up (cooler then normal weather two weeks ago has slowed some down). Please remember that some of you picked plants that have a long germination time of up to 16 days, so those should just be starting to come up.
You should be working on/with your compost piles for requirement #6.
If you have any question please feel free to contact Mr. Skrotzki.
| Cycling Merit Badge Starting on May 17th |  |
Grab your bike and join us to work on this Eagle Required Merit Badge
If you are interested, contact Mr. Hartman 986-7459 or Mr. Friedl 986-1726 so we can schedule times.
Rides will begin from the Macedon Canal Lock. We will do these rides on the canal according to a predetermined schedule. The badge requires two 10 mile rides, two 15 mile rides, and two 25 mile rides, and then a 50 mile ride that will be planned in September. Also required is a trip to the bike shop to learn about bikes. As we go on the rides, the leaders will go over bike safety. We usually stop for a meal or snack (depending on time we ride) before we head back, so scouts should bring some money to cover for this.
