A reservoir off Kern River, Lake Isabella is the perfect place to do water activities. Not only that, on Sunday, we will be able to raft down Kern River. This is a great trip for scouts to get requirements done and to have fun while school is going on. There are two different plans for the whitewater rafting, Plan A and Plan B. Plan A is a plan for the younger scouts, also known as double blitz, this includes class I-III rapids. On the other hand, Plan B is not for the lighthearted. From class III-IV, Plan B is definitely a more wet and wild ride. Please specify when signing up which plan you will be choosing.
Plans for Kern River Rafting: Please specify when signing up (in Notes)
Plan A (Double Blitz): $65, class I-III, ages 8+
Plan B: $115, class III-IV, ages 12+

*** Please remember to print, fill out both Participant Agreement and Participant Information forms, and bring them with you. The rafting company will not let anyone go without these! Staple them together and have them ready when we check in. This is especially important for scouts who are going without their legal guardians. Parents of those scouts - be sure to give the signed forms to the drivers.
*** Last year several cars were quietly disappearing and taking scouts with them before the trailer was packed and the troop were ready to leave. This is RUDE and does not make it easier for Mr A and the ASMs to teach the boys proper behavior and allows everyone to leave in a timely manner. Asking can we leave now will just cause distraction, Mr. A will say when all is packed and we are good to go!
*** Scouts' behaviors should be in accordance with Scout Oath and Scout Laws. Horseplay, physical violence, harassment, initiation rites, bullying, theft, verbal insults, ..., are prohibited. It's of the utmost importance that scouts follow instructions especially during outings. Otherwise scout, not only put himself in danger, he also endangers those around him. Guardians are responsible for their scouts' manners.***
