This program will introduce basic boating concepts to Scouts at the Cub level and provide an opportunity to work in a small group to practice the skills they are learning. We’ll start off with basic boating safety and equipment overview and then move to the water for 90 minutes of safe skills practice and fun paddling.
Ideal for those who have never been in a canoe before, each Scout will be paired with their Parent/Guardian to help create fond memories. We’ll run 4 sessions throughout the day, each session being 2 hours long (see session example below) For activity afloat, those not classified as a swimmer (not having passed the BSA Swimmer’s Test in the last calendar year) may paddle or ride in a canoe or other paddle craft with an adult swimmer skilled in that craft as a buddy. If the adult accompanying the Scout for this event has also not passed the BSA Swimmer’s Test, they will need to do so in advance of the event. Additional information will be sent to registrants.
Gathering Location: Stone Lake Beach, LaPorte
Cost: $10 per registration pair (Scout and Parent/Guardian)
