SAFETY AFLOAT TRAINING

Safety Afloat has been developed to promote boating and boating safety and to set standards for safe unit activity afloat. Before a BSA group may engage in an excursion, expedition, or trip on the water (canoe, raft, sailboat, motorboat, rowboat, tube, or other craft), adult leaders for such activity must complete Safety Afloat Training, have a commitment card with them, and be dedicated to full compliance with all nine points of Safety Afloat.

Safety Afloat Training is available either online or through your district training staff. Additionally, the training is available during Summer Camp at the Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation.
