  • Click here to see e-mail #4 for more information on this merit badge.

 

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: 

  1. Send an email with Scout's name to TBD

  2. Study boating safety via the Internet (http://www.state.tn.us/twra/pdfs/boatguide.pdf )

  3. 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.
