Merit Badge Trips and Girl Scout Badge Trips

Calling all Scouts & Scout Groups! Mild to Wild is honored to provide Boy Scouts of America the opportunity to meet requirements 4-13 of the White Water Merit Badge (requirements 1-3 should be completed with your leader/counselor before departing on your whitewater trip). Whitewater training is also available to Girl Scout groups as well, although there is not a specific White Water Badge for Girl Scouts.

We are strong believers in the value of outdoor recreation and thoroughly enjoy sharing our love for the outdoors with young people. We focus on keeping groups busy, happy, challenged and enriched in a drug and alcohol-free environment. Safety is our #1 priority; our trip leaders exceed state requirements with an average of 2,000 river miles (Colorado state requires 750 miles). Decisions will be based off the time of year and the water level at that time. Training will take place in paddleboats, oar boats, and inflatable kayaks (when water levels permit). Depending on water levels, our one-day trips may or may not meet all the items covered in the merit badge requirements.

Scout Team Building Activity

The challenge of the river and the natural orientation of rafting makes a river trip an ideal team-building outing. Exploring on old mining roads high up in the mountains in our custom tour vehicles also is great way for scouts to connect. Call our group specialist to help you plan a scout outing that won’t be forgotten!
