Skate World proudly supports organizations that encourage education, safety, and play for Lakeland kids. The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts have over a century of experience empowering kids in the community. Skate World does our part by help boys and girls earn their skating merit badges all year long!
Calling All Scouts!
We make it easy for boys and girls to earn merit badges. Any Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday Scouts can come to Skate World and earn their patches/belt loops. For just $6.50 kids will receive training on roller-skating safety, the history of skating, and more. Included is also skate rentals, a slice of pizza, and a drink.
*Must book in advance.
*Belt loop/patches not included.
Earn Your Skating Badge
What does it take to earn a roller-skating badge? Full knowledge of the safety procedures, equipment details, or etiquette of roller-skating or a physical mastery of skating. Badges exist for both inline and quad skating. Kids have five ways to earn a skating merit badge:
- Give safety and etiquette rules for skating, discuss the parts and functions of roller-skates, and describe the steps of good skate care.
- Demonstrate smooth skating, gliding, and stopping techniques as specified by an instructor.
- Preform a cross-cut, skate backwards, and skate in a slalom pattern as dictated by an instructor.
- Demonstrate a widespread eagle, mohawk, shuttle skate, and consecutive skate spins.
- Show mastery of speed skating, limbo, the stepover, and basketball or hockey on skates.
