SUMMARY:Christiana Creek Kayak Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 4th to paddle down our first “Bring Your Own Kayak” event!\nWe’ll travel approximately 5 miles on Christiana Creek\, starting in Michigan and ended in Indiana (tell your friends you paddled through two states). Be on the lookout for animals along the bank and fish under your seat! Because we will be out on the water\, this event will abide by all points of Safety Afloat. This event is only available to Scouts and Leaders who have successfully completed their Scouting America Swimmer’s Test. All participants will sign a participation waiver at the beginning of the day and because of the nature of moving water we do not recommend this trip to be a Scouts’ first trip in a solo kayak. \nRegistrants should plan to bring their own kayak unless otherwise noted on your registration form. There will be limited numbers of kayaks that are available if registrants do not have their own for a small additional fee. \nIf you are bringing your own kayak\, it is assumed that you will also be providing your own PFD. For all registrants who need to rent a kayak from Council\, you will be asked to provide your shirt size so we can have appropriately sized PFD’s for you as well. \nWe hope to see you on October 4th for a grand day out on the water! \nDownload the Itinerary \n

SUMMARY:Swimming Merit Badge Counselor Introductions
DESCRIPTION:Audience:\nScouts BSA Unit Key-3 Leaders \n\nScoutmaster\nCommittee Chair\nCharter Org Representative\n\nPurpose:\nAs Unit Leaders guide their Scouts\, and work to connect individual Scouts with the right Merit Badge Counselor for them\, it’s sometimes important to know more about a Merit Badge Counselor than what’s immediately available through the ScoutBook listings. It can help to know about thier personality type\, what their Scouting history is\, how they prefer to communicate\, and how busy they might be at different times of the year. \nThis event aims to provide Unit Key-3 Leaders an opportunity to meet the Swimming Merit Badge Counselors from across LaSalle Council for a conversation. This is a virtual event\, and invites will be sent to Unit Key-3 Leaders via email to preserve the integrity of the Merit Badge Process\, which first and formeost begins with a conversation between Unit Leader and Scout. \nMerit Badge Counselor Listings:\nThe full list of Merit Badge Counselors (searchable and sortable by Merit Badge) can always be found by any Scouts BSA Unit Key-3 Leader by logging into your ScoutBook account (scoutbook.scouting.org) and clicking on the “MB Counselor List” link. If you are a Unit Key-3 Leader and do not see the link\, contact the Counsel Registrar to confirm your account settings and permissions.

SUMMARY:Cub Scout Boating Introduction
DESCRIPTION: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. \nIdeal 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. \nGathering Location: Stone Lake Beach\, LaPorte\nCost: $10 per registration pair (Scout and Parent/Guardian) \nSession Schedule \nPlease Bring completed Health Forms AB

SUMMARY:Boating Merit Badges Day
DESCRIPTION:Audience and Cost:\nRegister for a day of boating at Camp Tamarack to either start a new merit badge\, or to hopefully complete a previously started partial. Scouts BSA youth members will be able to chose (at the time of registration) to work on Kayaking\, Canoeing\, or Rowing. The cost for this event will be $5.00 for Scouts completing a previous partial merit badge\, and $10.00 for Scouts who are starting a brand new merit badge. \nPurpose:\nBoating merit badges\, when offered during Summer Camp\, limits the opportunity of some youth to participate\, especially for those who do not already have their own watercraft. Weather related events can also adversely affect a Scout’s ability to complete a badge. This event provides an additional opportunity to leverage the Wood Lake waterfront through engagement and youth advancement. \nItinerary:\nProvided below more fully in the resources section\, the day will be broken into two phases: an early start for those beginning a brand new badge\, and a second session for those just needing to complete a previously started partial.\nClick here to download itinerary.
