I am Chip Collins, and I am an Eagle Scout. I keep bees in Haywood County, North Carolina. If the Beekeeping Merit Badge can be reinstated, I pledge to be a mentor for this Merit Badge. Thank you.
I pledge to be a mentor for scouts if they reinstate the beekeeping merit badge - I pledge to be a mentor for any young person that wants to learn more about beekeeping.
i pledge to the BSA that i will act as a mentor to scouts in my area that are interested in beekeeping if the BSA reinstates the beekeeping merit badge.
Beekeeping deserves to be back on the list. Not just because a couple of thousand beekeepers say so. Beekeeping should be reinstated because it connects and extends knowledge of several other merit badges. The obvious ones being Nature, Animal Science, Plant Study, and Insect Science.
Just because it might be difficult or possibly even less popular with kids these days, doesn't mean it's not deserving. I was a Scout from 1st Grade through highschool and I never heard of anyone getting the Dentistry merit badge, but last I checked, dentistry is pretty important. So is beekeeping.
I pledge to the BSA that I will act as a mentor to scouts if BSA reinstates the Bekeeping Merit Badge.

pledge to BSA that I will act as a mentor to scouts if BSA reinstates the Bekeeping Merit Badge. I am also and Eagle Scout and have been active in beekeeping for 16 years. I think this is a great activity for young people!
I'd be happy to mentor Scouts in my area in central Maine.
