Kayaking (Boy Scout Merit Badge) White Coffee Mug

Kayaking is a Boy Scout merit badge that focuses on teaching scouts skills related to the sport of kayaking. This merit badge requires demonstration of understanding and practical application in areas such as safety, equipment, strokes, and navigation. The goal is to foster knowledge and proficiency in kayaking while promoting teamwork, confidence, and self-reliance among Boy Scouts. To earn the Kayaking merit badge, scouts must complete a series of requirements, which may include demonstrating various paddling strokes, learning to capsize and re-enter a kayak safely, and participating in a supervised trip covering at least four miles on open water. The Kayaking merit badge is one of many outdoor skills merit badges offered by the Boy Scouts of America.
