All Scouting, Merit Badge Series

Swimming is a fun and important life skill—and this badge helps Scouts strengthen their abilities in the water. Learn about swimming strokes, water safety, and survival techniques. ScoutMaster Dave walks through what’s expected in this Eagle-required Scouting America merit badge. All merit badges are now available online through Scouting America (Boy Scouts of America – BSA).
