Basketry Merit Badge

BRAND NEW. By using this pamphlet to earn the merit badge for Basketry, Scouts will learn that this is a handy skill for a Scout. A basket can be a sturdy companion on campouts, for carrying clothes snugly and efficiently, for holding potatoes and corn for roasting over a campfire, or even for carrying the day's fishing catch back to camp for dinner. Baskets and basket-weaving projects also make great gifts for family and friends. During the process of earning this merit badge, Scouts will learn how to safely use basketry tools and materials, identify the types of baskets and weaves, and create baskets using each type of weave.
