Per the safe scouting guidelines, it is required for ALL participants, both youth and adult, that partake in water sports activities with the BSA to pass the boy scout swimmer's test prior to the activity. If you passed the swimmer's test within the past 12 months (i.e. at summer camp last July,) then you do not have to take it again. If you have not taken the test in the past 12 months and wish to participate in the canoeing at the congaree national park, then you must take and pass the swimmer's test. If you are not canoeing but are still going on the campout, then you do not have to take the test either. The troop leadership is attempting to find a date and locale in which to administer the test to all those who need it. If you have any questions, please talk to Mr. Raven or Mr. Clayton.

Also, bring paper and a writing instrument. We will be doing merit badge work and that requires writing. Be at the church at 4:30 and we will leave when everyone gets there. We will return at 1pm on Sunday. If you have any further questions, please call Mr. Raven or Mr. Clayton.
