WASHINGTON — Boy Scouts in Indiana will have more opportunities than ever before to earn agriculture-related merit badges in 2012, thanks to members of Farm Bureau in Indiana who are responding to a shortage of volunteers. Farm Bureau members are training to become registered merit badge counselors with Boy Scouts of America.
BSA merit badge counselors must be experts in a specific subject. Counselors encourage Scouts to learn about the chosen subject and coach them in how to fulfill the requirements to earn a badge. Through the merit badge program, boys learn career. . .
