Explore the science hiding behind the clouds while earning the Weather Merit Badge! Join us from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM at PARC for a full day of hands-on learning and advancement.

Scouts will discover how weather forms, learn about clouds, storms, and forecasting, and explore the impact weather has on our daily lives. Through interactive activities, observations, and discussions, participants will gain a better understanding of meteorology and the science that helps predict changing conditions.

Scouts will practice reading weather maps, interpreting forecasts, and learning how weather information is collected and shared. They will also examine weather safety and preparedness, helping them understand how to respond to severe weather events.

Prerequisite: 10 (a) Make one of the following instruments: wind vane, anemometer, rain gauge, or hygrometer. Keep a daily weather log for one week using information from this instrument as well as from other sources such as local radio and television stations, NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards, and internet sources (with your parent or guardian's permission). Record the following information at the same time every day: wind direction and speed, temperature, precipitation, and types of clouds. Be sure to make a note of any morning dew or frost. In the log, also list the weather forecasts from radio or television at the same time each day and show how the weather really turned out. 

Bring your instrument to show the counselor at the session
