Help Teach the Land Surveying Merit Badge in September!

July 16, 2025 1:46 PM | PLSO Office (Administrator)

PLSO is excited to support Scouts BSA by helping present the Land Surveying Merit Badge at Camp Mooney this September! This is a great opportunity to share your knowledge and inspire the next generation of surveyors.

We’ll be running multiple teaching stations to guide Scouts through the full badge program, which takes about 4 hours to complete. Lunch will be provided to all volunteers and participants.

We Need Volunteers!

We’re seeking Licensed Surveyors and surveying professionals to join us as instructors for the day.

  • Each instructor will guide a group of 4–8 students.
  • We expect 30+ Scouts, so we’ll need a strong team of volunteers to make it a success.
  • The badge content is straightforward and well-suited for group instruction.
  • No registration or special training is required—just show up and lend your expertise!

Optional Camping Available

  • Volunteers are welcome to stay overnight at Camp Mooney:
  • Friday evening through Sunday morning
  • Restroom facilities (portable and fixed) available
  • Potable water on-site
  • Bring your own tent, RV, or camper
  • No power hookups, so pack a generator or power bank if needed
