Join us for a weekend dedicated to all things Paddle Craft!
The Gerber Scout Reservation staff & volunteers will be offering you a choice of taking a Merit Badge (chose between Kayak MB & Canoeing MB) OR taking the Paddle Craft Safety Training. Here’s how it will work:
- Scouts will choose between the Canoeing Merit Badge or Kayaking Merit Badge. Both are great merit badges to increase skill & comfort levels on the Michigan lakes and waterways.
- Anyone (adult or scout) can chose to select the Paddle Craft Safety training. The Scouting America Paddle Craft Safety Training builds upon the safety lessons learned in Safety Afloat training to include the skills, as well as the knowledge, needed for a leader to confidently supervise canoeing or kayaking trips on flat and moving water.
