Whitewater Rafting at Kernville
Six scouts and two adult leaders
returned to Kernville on August 5-7 to complete the
Whitewater MB program. This trip was rescheduled from May
due to dangerous water conditions. Over the weekend, the
group mastered the skills required to navigate their
inflatable kayaks through a series of rapids down the Kern
River. We were ably led by our guides, Joe and Bee-bee of
Eagle Rafting. Scouts had the opportunity to paddle kayaks
as pairs and individuals. We also practiced water rescue
skills using the rope sack by “saving” scouts as they
drifted downstream. Overall, everyone had a great time on
the river, again.
