Stormwater SMART will be teaching the Soil and Water Conservation badge at the annual Randolph County Merit Badge College March 9th and March 23rd, 2013. Registration is required for all scouts wishing to attend. This badge is a fun way for scouts to learn about the process of soil erosion and water quality degradation. March 9th will include a presentation and activities highlighting soil erosion and sedimentation. On March 23rd, the scouts will meet at the Deep River Nature Trail to learn about and monitor the water quality by looking at the critters that live in the water. This hands-on approach to the Soil and Water Conservation badge provides the scouts with a deeper understanding of water quality and a fun adventure at the river.
