Whitewater (Boy Scout Merit Badge) White Coffee Mug

Whitewater is a merit badge offered by the Boy Scouts of America. This merit badge focuses on introducing scouts to the skills required for whitewater canoeing and kayaking, which includes understanding river classification, safety equipment, paddling techniques, and self-rescue methods. The scout will also learn about trip planning, navigation, first aid, and environmental awareness while participating in at least three separate whitewater experiences. The goal of the Whitewater merit badge is to teach Scouts practical skills for safely enjoying recreational whitewater activities and fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world.
