| - | Canoeing and Kayaking are on-the-water activities participated in by [[Boy Scouts]], [[Sea Scouts]], and [[Venturers]], who are members of the [[Boy Scouts of America]] (BSA). For most Boy Scouts, their first experience with watercraft is with canoes or rowboats at their [[http://www.scouting.org/media/lcl.aspx|local Council]] [[Scout Camps|camp]]. A typical Scout camp's "waterfront" will include one or more of the following: swimming, lifesaving, snorkeling, canoeing, rowing, kayaking, sailing, and much less frequently, water skiing. | + | Canoeing and Kayaking are on-the-water activities participated in by [[boy_scouts_of_america|Boy Scouts]], [[sea_scouts|Sea Scouts]] and [[venturers|Venturers]], who are members of the Boy Scouts of America.

| - | In working toward the [[http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/BoyScouts/AdvancementandAwards/eagle.aspx|Eagle Scout rank]], Boy Scouts are required to qualify for 21 merit badges. Two of the "required" merit badges **may** include Swimming and Lifesaving merit badges. As such, they are very popular with Scouts, and the vast majority qualify for them at summer camp. Although Canoeing merit badge is not a "required" merit badge, it remains very popular, and summer camp is by far the most common place to earn it. | + | In working toward the [[eagle_and_quartermaster_recognition|Eagle Scout]] rank, Boy Scouts are required to qualify for 21 [[merit_badge_counseling|merit badges]].

| - | BSA also operates a number **high adventure bases**, some of which focus on canoe trekking. The [[http://www.ntier.org/|Northern Tier National High Adventure Bases]] are a string of bases in the northern United States and southern Canada whose focus is on canoeing and kayaking. These week-long experiences are generally intended for older Boy Scout and Venturer participants. A high adventure trip to, for example, [[http://www.ntier.org/Sommers.html|Charles L. Sommers Wilderness Canoe Base]] will require months' of preparation and training.<br /><br /> | + | The Boy Scouts also operate a number high adventure bases, some of which focus on canoe trekking.
