Taylor Wiseman & Taylor Helps Boy Scouts Earn Merit Badge

06/15/10

  Volunteers  from Taylor Wiseman & Taylor (TWT) recently hosted Boy Scouts from Troops in Passaic County, Gloucester County, and Burlington County, New Jersey, as well as Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, at the 3rd TWT Survey Merit Badge Day.  To date, Taylor Wiseman & Taylor has assisted nearly 70 Boy Scouts to earn this badge.
  In order to receive their Survey Merit Badge, the Boy Scouts had to complete 8 required tasks including surveying a lot and measuring its elevation. Next, they drew and wrote a description for the lot they just surveyed. The scouts discussed the use of technology in the surveying field, as well as education requirements and career opportunities, with a Professional Land Surveyor and other members of the TWT staff.  With over 150 combined years of surveying experience, these instructors provided the scouts with a comprehensive overview of the surveying profession and the services a land surveyor provides.
  Taylor Wiseman & Taylor is pleased to offer this program to the Boy Scouts and has been proud of its success.  Plans are currently underway to expand the program in Fall 2010 with a 2nd Merit Badge and TWT looks forward to offering the Survey Merit Badge to Scouts again in Spring 2011.

  • SNJBP Datebook: January 2012

      January is not a big month for “don’t miss” events, But it is home to one of, if not “the,” premier events of the year—the State Chamber’s annual “Walk to Washington.”
      The tradition began in 1937 when several of the state's top business executives took a train to Washington to have dinner with New Jersey's congressional delegation. The rest is history. The Walk to Washington obtained its name when participants realized that few sit on the train; they literally walk the train mingling and exchanging business cards the whole way to Washington.
