The "Soil Water Conservation" merit badge is a part of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) program. This merit badge aims to educate scouts on the importance of soil and water conservation, focusing on understanding the factors that affect soil erosion and methods for preventing it. Topics may include the hydrologic cycle, soil types, land management practices, irrigation, and water quality. To earn this badge, a scout must demonstrate their knowledge through discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on activities, as well as complete a service project that promotes soil and water conservation. This merit badge not only enriches the Scouts' understanding of environmental science but also encourages them to contribute to sustainable practices for the benefit of future generations.
