Swimming

The boys passed off their second class and first class swimming requirements tonight.  This is not an easy requirement. It involves rescue, long swims, diving for heavy bricks and survival skills. The boys had to jump in the water fully clothed and then take off their clothing down to the swim suit and then tie knots in the clothing, inflate with water and use the clothing as a floation device. Have you ever tried to tread water, take off your pants and then tie them into knots? Very hard.  Please tell your scouts how proud we are of their accomplishment.  For some of them this was a relative first in the water so it was a lot of hard work and determination. The boys did fantastic.
