you need them… |

 |
… take out a motorboat for a run while earning Motorboating
merit badge… |
 |
or learn to sail with Small Boat Sailing
merit badge. High Adventure Sailing - the Helmsman program will
take Scouts on a 25-foot sailing vessel with overnight stays on
board or at various campsites along the lake. |
 |
Take Lifesaving Merit Badge- one of the
toughest, and most satifying, badges you can earn, or go all the
way to BSA Lifeguard certification: Being a fully-trained
lifeguard for your troop's aquatic activities means a lot more
than using the right sunscreen. To master the mountain of skills
and knowledge it takes to earn this award, you must work long and
hard during your entire week at Camp Barton. |
 |
Water-skiing Merit Badge is a great
opportunity for older Scouts. |
 |
If you want to put yourself to the ultimate aquatic
test, jump in with both feet! |

Cayuga Lake provides one of the most unique
settings around to try your hand at any acquatic activity.
Merit badges aren't everything - don't forget the other
activities:
