Join the Venturing and Sea Scout Officers Association and the Swift Staff for an exciting weekend.

We’ll be starting off the Swift Base season in style. Saturday join us as we help to improve the Swift Base and setup some of the programs for the summer. Some of the items we’ll be doing include:

• Repair shower house (painting, carpentry)
• Electrical work around camp
• Painting of Latrines
• Repair of Tent Frames
• Improved Mountain Bike Trails
• Sailboat Setup and Repair
• Water Break/Diverters

Then after putting in some amazing projects, its time to try out some of the fun we’ve setup. Mountain boards, waterfront,  boats, games, sports and more will all be available. Saturday night will be a potluck dinner, with some great evening fun planned too.
