Watersports Merit Badge Clinic

Join us for a two-day Canoeing and Sailing Merit Badge Weekend at the Shoreline Lake Boathouse in Mountain View! Scouts will have the opportunity to work with experienced instructors in a beautiful waterfront setting while completing either the Canoeing or Small-Boat Sailing Merit Badge.
Two merit badge courses will be offered concurrently throughout the weekend — one for Canoeing and one for Sailing. Scouts cannot do both merit badges in the same weekend.
As an added benefit, the Sailing Merit Badge track covers skills and concepts from Shoreline Lake's introductory sailing curriculum. (For more information regarding further sailing instruction, etc., please contact the Boathouse directly.)
We look forward to an exciting weekend of skill-building, outdoor adventure, and fun on the water!
This is a two-day event.
