Whitewater (Boy Scout Merit Badge) Accent Coffee Mug

The "Whitewater" merit badge is a Scouting award given by the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). This badge focuses on the skills and knowledge required for safe and enjoyable whitewater canoeing, rafting, or kayaking. To earn this merit badge, a Scout must demonstrate proficiency in various aspects such as knots, paddling techniques, safety equipment, river reading, self-rescue, first aid, and group rescue. The primary goal is to instill in Scouts the importance of respecting water safety while enjoying outdoor activities, particularly those involving whitewater rivers.
