Troop 818 maintains its own fleet of canoes, kayaks stand-up paddle boards and even has a sailboat! Every summer Scouts head to a local body of water and participates in "Summers on the Water." Not only do the Scouts have great summer fun but we are working to prepare all out Scouts in our troop so that they will be ready to attend Northern Tier if they so choose.
Here are some great resources and videos to help Scouts get prepared to earn the Canoeing and Kayaking merit badges as well as refresh older Scouts before heading out.
All BSA Paddlecraft activities must adhere to the BSA Safety Afloat Policies
