Watercraft Operator Training | Minnesota Watercraft Operators (MWO) Permits have always been a requirement for youth between the ages of 12-17. A revised provision will begin in 2025 mandating anyone born after 1987 be required to obtain a MWO Permit.
The SLA along with the Scott County Sheriff’s Office strongly encourage all boaters to take and pass the available on-line boating training. The Boat Certificate Training website is https://www.boaterexam.com/usa/minnesota.
To further support this initiative, any paid 2024 SLA Family Member who emails a copy of their permit to Board.SLA@gmail.com by August 1 will be eligible for a drawing for one of ten $50 gift cards.
