Requirement

3. Draw the map: indoors, from the requirement 2 notes

Required

Using a protractor and scale, plot the points and draw the survey to scale: north arrow, scale bar, title, date and a diagram of the lot. Submit a neatly drawn copy. Nothing about this happens in the field.

Notes and warnings

Note. Five things have to be on the finished drawing besides the survey itself: a north arrow, a scale bar, a title, the date, and a diagram of the lot you measured. It is submitted as a neatly drawn copy, so it is worth drafting once before drawing it properly.

Where this step comes from

  1. Surveying Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2025-12-31), Requirement 3 · Works from the field notes gathered for requirement 2.
