Surveying Merit Badge
In April, 2006, the
Genesee Valley Land Surveyors Association formed a committee with the
purpose of coordinating with Boy Scout troops in the region to help
local Land Surveyors get involved with the Boy Scout Surveying Merit
Badge Program.
The Surveying Merit Badge was created
in 1911, and is an elective Merit Badge. In order to receive the
badge, participants must demonstrate knowledge of first aid related to
Surveying, demonstrate ability to set up surveying instruments, locate
evidence, draw a scale map, use a compass, perform elementary records
research, write a description, perform a level run, demonstrate
knowledge of GPS, and discuss Land Surveying as a career with a
Licensed Land Surveyor.

volunteer with the Merit Badge Committee, or if you are a local Boy
Scout Council or Troop that would like more information on local Land
Surveyors who would like to be part of the Surveying Merit Badge
Program, please contact a committee member or use our Contact Form.
