This event is open to Cubs that are going into the 4th and 5th grades in the fall of 2023. 

“This adventure will introduce Webelos Scouts to the key principles of aquatics safety as they develop their swimming and boating skills.”

You'll have two opportunities to earn your belt loop in this Webelos/AOL adventure - June 8, 2023 and July 13, 2023 from 6pm to 8pm. By the end of the event your Scout will be able to do the following:

• State the safety precautions you need to take before doing any water activity.
• Explain the meaning of “order of rescue” and demonstrate the reach and throw rescue techniques from land.
• Attempt the BSA swimmer test.
• Demonstrate the precautions you must take before attempting to dive headfirst into the water, and attempt a front surface dive.
• Learn and demonstrate two of the following strokes: crawl, sidestroke, breaststroke, or elementary backstroke.
• Invite a current or former lifeguard, or member of a rescue squad, the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, or other armed forces branch who has had swimming and rescue training to your den meeting. Find out what training and other experiences this person has had.
• Demonstrate how to correctly fasten a life jacket that is the right size for you. Jump into water over your head. Swim 25 feet wearing the life jacket. Get out of the water, remove the life jacket, and hang it where it will dry.

We'll see you at the Camp Perkins Pool!
