Boy Scouts

Boy Scouts, it is time to earn your Animal Science merit badge!

We have the wonderful opportunity to offer the Animal Science Merit Badge.

Cattle, horses, sheep, goats, hogs, poultry, and other domesticated animals are important to people for many reasons. They supply us with food and clothing. We use them for recreational purposes. They work with and for us.
