Let us help your scouts earn their Merit Badges! Below are the Badges we can currently offer as counselors and trainers. If there is a specific badge that you would like, please let us know.
Scuba BSA introduces qualified
Boy Scout, Venturing and registered adult participants to the
special skills, equipment and safety precautions associated with
scuba diving, encourages aquatics activities that promote fitness
and recreation and provides a foundation for those who later will
participate in more advanced underwater activity. The Scuba BSA experience contains two parts — Knowledge Development and Water Skills Development. During the first part, participants learn basic dive safety information and overview skills to be used during their water experience. The Water Skills Development session introduces essential dive skills, such as mask clearing, regulator clearing and alternate air source use. The Scuba BSA program is conducted in clear, confined water by an instructor certified by diving organizations recognized by the BSA. Completion of Scuba BSA requirements sets the stage for additional training, but does not qualify the participant to dive independently, either in confined water or open water environments. Scuba BSA is not a diver certification. Prerequisites Minimum Age: 10yrs ( The age requirement has been lowered with the introduction of the NEW Scuba Merit Badge ) Scout Price: $15.00 per person*
