Receive The Coveted Merit Badge
River Runners has extensive experience providing a tailored experience for Scout trips of all sizes and levels of experience. Our scout trips empower your students to be active and safe in whitewater and swift water environments.
We offer a variety of trips for Scouts. If your troop is looking for simply a recreational day out, we've got you covered. If you are looking for the Rafting BSA, we can do that.
And if you want to really get some training done, try our Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Merit Badge two-day rafting and camping adventure. Participating scouts practice whitewater rafting and kayaking skills over two days, and those demonstrating proficiency receive the coveted merit badges.
This two-day/two-night adventure encourages a cooperative and supportive team-focused learning environment. This trip combines both of the beautiful Class III Chili Bar and Gorge sections of the river to give you a complete, memorable, and inspiring California rafting experience.
There will be plenty of time to play and to enjoy just being outside as part of this course, because at River Runners, we strongly believe in creating a fun, exhilarating, and unforgettable learning experience.
For scout groups looking for a less formal team-building experience, consider a full-day rafting trip on the class III Chili Bar or Gorge sections of the South Fork American River. Suitable for ages 6 and up, these trips are perfect for scout groups of all ages and levels of rafting experience. Our expert guides are excited to provide your scout group with the trip of a lifetime.
For older scouts looking to kick up the intensity a notch, consider a Class IV Middle Fork American River trip. This trip is suitable for individuals aged 14 and up, and offers a thrilling one-day trip through a deep wilderness canyon like no other.
At River Runners, we understand that planning a group trip is a massive undertaking, which is why our experts are delighted to speak with you over email, phone, or text to help you plan your perfect scout adventure.
