Camp Guyasuta Merit Badge Days

To advance through the Scouts BSA program, Scouts must complete merit badges. Camp Guyasuta understands the importance of meeting requirements, and the Scout understands the information presented. Scouts taking a merit badge class must talk with their Scoutmaster about taking the badge.

The Swimming Merit Badge, an Eagle-required award, requires Scouts to demonstrate proficient swimming skills, including a 150-yard swim using five different strokes, surface dives, and water safety knowledge. It acts as a prerequisite for the Lifesaving Merit Badge. 

Upon arrival at Camp Guyasuta, go to the swimming pool. 

No walk-ins will be accepted.

Classes are held at Camp Guyasuta, 300 – 23rd Street, Sharpsburg, PA 15215

Please note the following:

*Must be able to pass the BSA swimmer test, requiring swimming 100 yards continually.

* Please bring a swimsuit, sunscreen, towel, and water bottle

* Please bring the BSA medical form part A&B with you on the day of the badge
