About the badges
Basketry
Basketry is a handy skill for a Scout. A basket can be a sturdy companion on campouts, carrying clothes, holding potatoes and corn for roasting over a campfire, or bringing the day’s catch back to camp. Baskets and basket-weaving projects also make great gifts for family and friends.
Woodcarving
As with any art, wood carving involves learning the basics of design, along with choosing materials, tools, and techniques, and wood-carving safety. The requirements introduce Scouts to an enjoyable hobby that can become a lifetime activity.
Signing up
Your unit leader registers each Scout for classes in MyCouncil when your week's registration opens in late April. Classes fill up, so list a second and third choice for each session.
