Swimming Merit Badge

Posted by Lisa Denton on August 30, 2010

The last session of the water portion of the Swimming Merit Badge is on September 12 from 2-5pm at the Parker Rec Center; $3.50 for scouts.  You may begin or complete the badge at these sessions if you have already started it.

If you would like to attend this merit badge class, you must respond to me by Tuesday 9/7 for the 9/12 class. 

At these sessions we will focus on the following requirements: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.  The dry portion for you to do on your own are requirements: 1, 2, 6d, 10.  Requirement 3 has to do with rank advancement; if you are not a First Class Scout, you must have completed Second Class requirements 8a, 8b, 8c and First Class requirements 9a, 9b, 9c.  If you are not sure if you have completed these requirements, email me or discuss at a Scout meeting.

Please note that these sessions are not swimming classes.  Read the badge requirements and practice to be sure that you will pass.  This is a very important badge and no requirement will be signed off unless you are proficient at it.

Yours in Scouting, Mrs. Denton
