Climbing Merit Badge

Climbing is not a sport that requires tremendous muscular strength; it demands mental toughness and the willingness to practice hard to master a set of skills. The adventure of climbing can also provide a new way to enjoy the outdoors.
​Participation
  • Climbing demands a certain amount of maturity and physical stamina of participants and should be discussed before registering for these classes.     
  • Participants must be 13 years of age
  • Participants must have approval of the unit leader
  • It is recommended that participants bring soft-soled sneakers, and leather-palmed gloves.

Schedule
