Is anyone here aware of whether or not there is a license, certification, or merit badge available for inspecting cedar siding?

The Cedar Shake & Shingle Bureau offers "memberships" but that's not quite the same.

This is for a customer who needs an opinion from someone who is, preferably, credentialed rather than someone who has XX years in the bidness.

When I earned my Eagle Scout in 1980 there was no merit badge and they hadn't added it in 2000 when I began a 4 year stint as scoutmaster. Check with the Campfire girls?

It does make good kindling if not primed and your split it into long thin pieces.
