Boy Scout Land Surveying Merit Badge Field Day

Call for Volunteers: Help Teach the Land Surveying Merit Badge!

Date: Saturday, September 27
Location: Camp Mooney – Near Roseburg, OR
Presented by: PLSO (Professional Land Surveyors of Oregon)

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!
