Join UpTown for a comprehensive 4-hour, hands-on course covering all requirements* for earning a Climbing Merit Badge. Open to Boy Scouts of America, Girl Scouts of the USA, and other similar youth organizations, this program combines essential classroom instruction on knot-tying and safety protocols with exciting on-the-wall climbing activities designed to keep scouts actively engaged throughout the session. Our experienced instructors tailor the level of instruction to meet your troop's specific needs and skill levels.

  • Party room access

Skills covered:

  • Basic climbing techniques
  • Knot-tying: Figure-Eight Follow-Through, Barrel Knot, Double Overhand and Water Knot

Optional: Rappelling can be added for an extra hour of time and $20 per scout.

Everybody must have a Visitor Agreement to be in the building, even if they are just watching.
