Motor-boating -
Instructor: TBD
![](images/IMG018.jpg)
Beginning January 1, 2005, boat operators born after January 1, 1989 must show a
TWRA- issued card as proof of successful completion of a nationally approved
boater education course approved by the TWRA.
Scouts must take the Tennessee Boaters Motor Boating Exam prior to operating
any fishing boat at WaterWorld. This will apply to all scouts, even if they
already have the merit badge.
To help Scouts with the exam, we will be teaching the course on TBD (date) at the
TBD (location). The State test will be
administered immediately following the training.
If you are interested in receiving the motor-boating merit badge
and/or legally driving a boat then:
-
Send an email with Scout's name to TBD
-
Study boating safety via the Internet (http://www.state.tn.us/twra/pdfs/boatguide.pdf
)
-
You must purchase for $10 a boat safety exam permit from Wal-Mart, sporting
goods store, baits store, marinas, etc. This is your ticket to take the exam.
The ticket has the candidate's information on it, you'll need your social
security number, similar to the fishing license requirement. Bring this
exam permit to the class.
Class may be
limited in size and consideration will be given to scouts first.
