SCOUTS MUST BE ABLE TO PASS Scouting America SWIM TEST
Per the merit badge requirements Scouts are required to pass the Scouting America swim test before attempting any other requirements. Swim test can be done before your arrival to this event. This can be done the following ways.
-
1. Have a signed and filled out Scouting America Swim Classification Record Form.
-
2. Have completed the Swimming and Lifesaving Merit Badge within the last year.
-
3. Have completed kayaking, canoeing, and or rowing merit badge at summer camp this year, 2025.

Swim test will also be done during the check-in process. We ask parents to stay until the scout has passed the swim test. If a scout can’t pass the test they will be unable to continue in the class.
Please send proof of the above to johnathon.hall@scouting.org. If you have any questions, please contact Johnathon.
All attending Scouts must bring a Merit Badge application (blue card) with them, signed by their Unit Leader. Blue cards shall not be issued at the event.
