Task · part of 6. Choose one: observe, research your state, or build a scrapbook
6(c). A scrapbook of North American fish and wildlife: 25 articles
Optional May not apply Often forgotten
Divided by markers into five parts, with at least five articles each on mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish. Each animal on a separate sheet in alphabetical order, with pictures wherever possible. Internet sources allowed with a parent or guardian's permission.
Notes and warnings
Warning. THIS IS TWENTY-FIVE ARTICLES, AND IT READS LIKE ONE LINE. Five each on mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish, with the book divided by markers into those five parts, each animal on a separate sheet, in alphabetical order, with pictures wherever possible. It is much the largest single job in requirement 6 and sits beside two much shorter routes. Internet sources are allowed with your parent or guardian's permission, which makes gathering them easier but does not reduce the count.
Where this step comes from
- Fish & Wildlife Management Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2026-05-05), Requirement 6(c) · The requirement states at least five articles in each of five categories.
