Calling all scouts!
In earning the Insect Study merit badge, Scouts will glance into the strange and fascinating world of the insect. There, they will meet tiny creatures with tremendous strength and speed, see insects that undergo startling changes in habits and form as they grow, and learn how insects see, hear, taste, smell, and feel the world around them.
This class is led by a certified Merit Badge Counselor and will complete all of the requirements for the Insects Merit Badge, except for requirement number 3B.
