Scouts of America add flexographic printing to Graphic Arts Merit Badge requirements
The Phoenix Challenge Foundation announces that flexographic printing has officially been added to the Scouts of America’s Graphic Arts Merit Badge requirements — a milestone that will introduce thousands of youth to one of the most innovative and essential printing technologies in the world.
Flexographic printing, the prominent process used for packaging, labels, medical and countless everyday products, is a vital part of the global consumer-products supply chain. By incorporating this process into the merit badge curriculum, Scouts across the nation will gain hands-on experience and exposure to career paths that blends creativity, evolving technology, and precision manufacturing.
The Graphic Arts Merit Badge has long covered processes such as offset, screen, and lithographic printing. Adding flexography modernizes the program, ensuring it reflects industry advancements and prepares youth for future opportunities.
US paper industry opposes tariffs on Brazilian eucalyptus pulp
The American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) is calling on the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to exempt Brazilian bleached eucalyptus kraft pulp (HTS code: 4703.29) from potential Section 301 tariffs, warning that the material is indispensable to the U.S. tissue industry and cannot be purchased domestically at commercial scale. The group submitted its comments as part of USTR’s ongoing investigation into Brazil’s trade practices.
On September 3, USTR will hold a public hearing to gather further testimony on these issues and assess how Brazilian laws may be restricting fair market access for American firms.
AF&PA’s urges that eucalyptus production is extremely limited, with viable growing areas confined to small regions in coastal California and Hawaii, which cannot meet industrial-scale demand.
The association holds that imposing tariffs on Brazilian pulp would harm U.S. manufacturers by raising input costs, reducing profitability, and undermining the competitiveness of American-made tissue products.
