2009-2010 WEBELO AQUANAUT PHYSICAL SKILLS
ACTIVITY BADGE
Once again this year, we are offering to all registered WEBELOS, the opportunity to improve their aquatic skills and complete the requirements for rank advancement by earning the WEBELOS Aquanaut pin, & swimming belt loop .
Do not show up at the pool before 7:00!
The pool is located off of Gypsy Glen Road, just past the Beaver outdoor pool and football field.
Unless a parent or legal guardian who has legal right for the well being of the class attendee is present at all times, all Scouts must have a health form filled out by a parent/legal guardian. A copy of a B.S.A medical form (Heritage health form) or the one page Cub form will be okay for all scouts to use. No doctor’s appointment or doctor’s signature will be required as long as we have emergency numbers and health insurance information.
There will be a $1.00/Scout/swim night charge at the door.
The classes will be held on the following dates:
January 6, 13, 20, & 27 WEBELOS – Aquanaut
* All WEBELOS Aquanaut classes and Heritage summer camp swim checks are by appointment. Units must call and sign-up their scouts. Aquanaut classes are limited to 30 scouts per night.
It is required that all units make a reservation and provide a person to help keep records of achievements earned. All units need to contact either Mike Shovlin at (724) 728-2070 or John Onuska at (724) 643-8121 to advise the number and name of scouts for each class.
BSA ADULT LIFEGUARD TRAINING*
*(This course is also open to all Scouts 15 years of age and any BSA Lifeguard partials from summer camp)
The Beaver Valley District Advancement Committee is offering training in becoming a BSA Certified Lifeguard to any Registered Adult Leader.
The course is more involved than the Red Cross Lifesaving due to the fact that boating activities will be covered. We will be training the lifeguards in all aspects of water activities involved in Scouting. The certification is good for three years, provided the lifeguard maintains a current CPR card.
Courses in CPR and First Aid will be offered if the group requires such. Water activities will begin on January 6th at the Beaver High School pool. Part of the training will include classroom training. Please call Mike Shovlin at 724.728.2070 or John Onuska at 724.643.8121 to sign up for the course, or for more information. It is highly recommended that each unit have a trained BSA lifeguard for their water activities.
To ask questions about swim dates, classes, and Merit Badges Requirements, we can be contacted by email at: [BVD_mbquest@yahoo.com]
THERE IS A $10.00 FEE FOR THE BSA-ADULT LIFEGUARD TRAINING
NOTE: We are guests of the Beaver High School; there will be no swiming classes if school classes are canceled (i.e. snow, swim meet, power loss, etc.) We must yield to all school activities. As is the scouting way, please insure that you take with you what you brought and only leave wet footprints.
