Get ready for the ultimate adrenaline rush! This summer, our troop is heading out on a high-energy, action-packed White Water Rafting trip on the SOUTH FORK of the American River— and you won’t want to miss it!

We’ll be tackling 21 miles of thrilling white water with professional guides leading the way. Along the ride, you’ll get to paddle through rapids, experience the beauty of the river wilderness, and enjoy an unforgettable day on the water. 🏞?

And the best part? You’ll complete all the requirements for the Whitewater Rafting Merit Badge — including full instruction and hands-on experience during the trip.

Here’s what’s included:

  • ? Full instruction for the Whitewater Rafting Merit Badge

  • ? Guided 21-mile rafting adventure

  • ? Lunch on the river (delicious and scenic!)

  • ? 2 nights of camping under the stars

  • ? All rafting gear and equipment provided

We’ll be camping on-site, so bring your tents and your adventurous spirit! The troop will provide 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners, all included in the trip cost.

We will have to leave early on FRIDAY AUGUST 1st and come back on SUNDAY AUGUST 3rd. It is about a 7 hour drive to get there, but I expect it will be worth it.

Total cost: $300 per person
This covers your merit badge instruction, rafting experience, camping, meals, and all the fun you can handle.

Don’t miss this opportunity to take on the rapids, bond with your fellow scouts, and check off an awesome merit badge!

Adventure. Brotherhood. Achievement.
Let’s hit the water!
