Pets Merit Badge
 

 
Scoutmaster Bucky Comments:

The Pets Merit Badge is a very easy merit badge to earn but does require 4 months of pet care to complete.

If you like the Pets Merit Badge, consider also doing Animal Study, Dog Care, Fish and Wildlife Management, Mammal Study, Nature, Reptile and Amphibian Study, or even Veterinary Medicine
