Boy Scout Climbing Merit Badge

Boy Scouts

Customer Quote:

"...my son's Cub Scout den recently got the Geologist Badge through the south location. To be honest, I was really dreading the outing because I had visions of "Laser Tag" in my head. Much to my happy surprise, there was no music blasting (whatever was playing in the background was great and not overwhelming), the instructor was great, and there were no video games to argue over. Thanks for a very pleasant evening, and Mom learned to belay, so that lead to the gift certificates for Christmas.

Keep up the good work. We're spreading the word to friends.

Acquire your Boy Scout Merit Badge or your Venturing Climbing Elective in the great outdoors! Our Deluxe Outdoor Badge Programs help you meet the requirements of your badge and as a bonus, give you a full day of climbing outside! Our programs not only teach you the skills you need to know, but allow you to practice them all day until they become second nature. Like our day trips, we may end the course with a cold dip into the wonderful Pedernales River, if you so choose.

Full Day/Half Day Guided Outdoor Climbing Excursions
Price: Varies based on Program and Location

Austin Rock Gym has led guided trips not only in the Austin and surrounding areas, but in many other locations throughout the U.S. and Mexico. You tell us where you want to go climb or ask us where we think you would enjoy going and we can make it happen.

Note: Venturers successfully completing the four-hour introduction or the full day outdoor session should reasonably expect to fulfill all the Ranger Award mountaineering elective requirements, with the possible exceptions of 4 (d) and 9. (Venturers seeking credit for this elective are reminded that completion of the Ranger first aid core requirement is a prerequisite.)
