Basketry (Merit Badge Series)

36 pp. A Boy Scouts of American Merit Badge pamphlet on basketry. "Basketry is not only a handy skill, but an artistic one, too! A basket can be a sturdy companion on campouts for carrying clothes more efficiently, for holding potatoes and corn for roasting over a campfire, or even for carrying the day's fishing catch back to camp for dinner! This merit badge pamphlet not only gives Scouts information on different weaving techniques, but also the rich history of basket weaving and the requirements for earning the Basketry merit badge! Through earning this badge, Scouts get to discover a new creative outlet, while creating handy baskets for carrying anything from tools to bread for dinner! This talent also lends to making great gifts for family and friends."
