Learn about the fine points of outdoor gear by taking the Textile Merit Badge with a Rancocas accredited counselor. There is an old Scandinavian saying: “There is no such thing as bad weather-- only bad clothing choices.” When you learn about various fibers, fabrics and their properties, you’ll be able to make better choices about your outdoor clothing and gear.  Additionally, a better understanding of weaving and other fiber crafts increases your important survival skills.  A certified Merit Badge counselor will lead you through the requirements for this badge in a one-day outdoor workshop.
