>>Yes, the Boy Scouts still do this.

>>I think we can help the Boy Scouts and help the wildlife if the Boy Scouts would contact their local herp societies and rescues and ask to foster animals for that month (or longer if they like). Then they can be on their way to the merit badge AND community service.



That's a great idea--I wonder why nobody's thought of that before? I was in Boy Scouts and was happy to earn that merit badge (about 18 years ago?), but I've kept primarily native herps all my life anyway--the badge was merely a formality for me.



I'm going to cross-post this response to rec.pets.herp and the herp society forum here on KS as I'm sure many people would be interested in this idea.
