The Traffic Safety Merit Badge is very useful for those who are new to driving or are thinking ahead about getting their license. Taught by a California Highway Patrol officer. There will be a second session at the San Francisco CHP Office on a Saturday in late May / early June to complete the badge.
Disability Awareness Merit Badge (Time TBD)
Details for the Disability Awareness Merit Badge are still being finalized.
Participants
Scouts of all ages can learn important bike safety lessons, including how to navigate traffic, use hand signals and ride safely on San Francisco's streets and bikeways. Plus:
Mechanics will be on-hand to help Scouts adjust their helmets to a proper fit, and inspect their bikes for any safety concerns.
Scouts (and family members) can take a short bike ride around the Lakeshore neighborhood, with a longer (family-led) option that goes around Lake Merced.
Cycling Merit Badge counselors will be there to sign you off any partials.
Receive a special Bike Rodeo Activity Patch when you complete an activity!
