Camp Guyasuta Merit Badge Days

To advance through the Scouts BSA program, Scouts must complete merit badges. Camp Guyasuta understands the importance of making sure that requirements are met and the Scout understands the information presented. Scouts taking a merit badge class are required to talk with their Scoutmaster regarding the badge.

Before starting the Lifesaving merit badge, Scouts must earn the Swimming merit badge, pass the BSA Swimmer Test, and be able to swim 400 yards continuously (using specific strokes: front crawl, sidestroke, breaststroke, and elementary backstroke). Participants must also review Safe Swim Defense principles and, often, show CPR proficiency.

Upon arrival at Camp Guyasuta, check in at the swimming pool

No walk-ins will be accepted.
