The Aquatic Center at Worth Ranch features two swimming pools with merit badges and programs almost non-stop from sun up to sun down. The pool offers instructional swim for those interested in learning to swim along with merit badges such as swimming and lifesaving. Free swim, snorkelling, water volleyball, mile swim, and BSA lifeguard are just some of the other activities and programs offered at the Aquatic Center. Safe swim defence is also offered for your Scoutmasters and troop leaders.
Travelling on down to the river we find more aquatics programs and merit badges. Canoeing, Rowing and Motor Boating merit badges offer advancement opportunities for scouts while other programs include free boating for those that just want to come try their hand at canoeing, rowing or kayaking. For the older Scouts there is an evening canoe trip with dinner on the river.

The shooting sports area at Worth Ranch offers Archery, Rifle and Shotgun merit badges. Instructed by highly trained staff members that ensure safety is always a top priority these activities. For those that just want to try their hand at using a bow and arrow, firing a shot at a target or shooting clays, Worth Ranch offers free shooting several times a day.
