Soil and Water Conservation Activities for Boy Scouts

The learning activities outlined in this booklet can help you understand some conservation principles and perhaps they can develop within you an attitude of concern for the environment and a committment to help with the task of using and managing soil, water, and other natural resources for long-range need as well as immediate benefits. Activities including making soil artificially, comparing soils by growing plants in them, making conservation corners, measuring slopes and soil loss, make splash boards to study erosion, find how much alive soil is, hands-on questions on sediment, mulch, organic soils and more.
