Program: Fishing
Program Patrol: Sea Dragons
Detail:
- Please arrive at Willow Creek Church on Friday at 5:30 PM. Lots and lots must happen (loading gear onto the patrol trailer, loading propane into pickups, car assignments, hitching up the trailers, etc.). We need to leave promptly at 6:30 to have any chance of setting up camp before dark.
- BSA Aquatics Supervisor Mike Kochmann plans to join Tom Reynolds (BSA/Red Cross Lifeguard) in administering BSA swim tests to interested Scouts and adults that Saturday in the Camp Winona swimming area, pending weather conditions. It will be done in accordance with Safe Swim Defense practices. Swim test participation is completely optional.
- Swim Test will suffice for April tubing at Oleno, summer camps, canoeing, high adventure trips, etc.
- Read this to understand Swim Test
- Patrols are to bring their own boxes and dining flies and provide Patrol meals
