Jared and Drew discuss the Whitewater Rafting BSA Award, the requirements, and give their commentary behind each requirement. They have rafted the both Upper and Middle Ocoee River (TN) sections multiple times and have rafted the Nantahala River (NC) as well. One thing they have learned. They can paddle but they are NOT guides.
