You will need to bring with you a lunch, a pen or pencil and some paper or notebook.
Please bring a signed blue card from your scoutmaster. Please do not print up the Merit
Badge Packets that you can find on the internet. We will not use them and they are a
waste of paper. This is an Eagle Scout required merit badge and is a very extensive
workshop, so please be prepared when you come. You will also need to bring proof of
completion of the pre-requisites.

Pre-requisites: Before the workshop, please do the following...
Requirement #3(b)2 - Record the trips taken, mileage, and fuel consumption of a
family car for seven days, and calculate how many miles per gallon the car
gets. Determine whether any trips could have been combined ("chained")
rather than taken out and back. Using the idea of trip chaining, determine how
many miles and gallons of gas could have been saved in those seven days.
Requirement #3(e)1 – Do research on one endangered species found in New York
State. Find out what its natural habitat is, why it is endangered, what is being
done to preserve it, and how many individual organisms are left in the wild.
Prepare a 100-word report about the organism.
