BSA Lifeguard
Scouts must be age 15 or older and should have earned lifesaving, swimming, and first aid merit badges, and need some rowing experience. Leaders are not required to have completed these badges, but need to have the proficiency required to do so.
Canoeing
This is a two-hour session. Good physical strength and stamina required. This is a good
merit badge to introduce boating; it is more fun and less difficult than rowing. Bring
long pants, belt, long-sleeved button down shirt, and shoes that can be gotten wet. It is
recommended that the CPR instruction (requirement 2) be completed before camp.
Lifesaving
This is an advanced merit badge. Scouts should be a third year camper and a strong swimmer. Scouts need to bring long pants and a button up shirt. This merit badge is Eagle
Required.
Mile Swim

Motorboating
This is a very popular badge and fills up faster than any other. Scouts need to bring shoes that can get wet. |
