SPECIAL SERVICE

Our Whitewater and Kayaking merit badge classes are a combination of classroom-style instruction and hands-on training. Our guides are thorough, organized and take time to explain, teach and demonstrate material and requirements. We listen closely to Scouts and Adult Leaders and work hard to ensure students have a productive and educational fun day. We keep class sizes small so students may ask questions and feel comfortable knowing a certified guide is available to assist them during their entire class. We pace our classes to be fun and interesting where each student has time to learn, practice and apply the material and requirements.
