I have amended the flier with the actual BSA policy (click here). Obviously, this policy needs to be followed for safety reasons.
On the second page in red, you will see the requirement. It addresses both Youth and Adults, saying that the test must be passed annually for both groups. If your youth will be challenged to complete this test, he can still participate with you in the canoe (you must pass the test).
See you this Sunday at UTD! We start at noon and will have a hard stop at 2:00 pm. Bring your uniform to change into for the Eagle ceremony which will start at 3:00 pm.
For those unable to attend this weekend, there is a council swim check next weekend (Sat, May 7th) at Camp Wisdom: Council Swim Check
Let me know if you have questions (e-mail me by clicking my name below).
