Whitewater (Boy Scout Merit Badge) Pint Glass 16oz

The Whitewater merit badge is an award presented by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) for demonstrating proficiency in the skills required to safely navigate moving bodies of water, particularly whitewater rivers and streams. This merit badge focuses on teaching scouts about river safety, navigation, paddling techniques, equipment selection, and rescue methods related to whitewater canoeing or kayaking. To earn this badge, scouts must complete various requirements, such as learning the basics of reading a river, performing various paddle strokes, demonstrating self-rescue techniques, and participating in a supervised whitewater experience under the guidance of an experienced paddler. The goal is to instill a strong sense of responsibility, teamwork, and respect for the natural environment while fostering a lifelong appreciation for outdoor adventure and water safety skills.
