Splash!
On Saturday, September 2nd, Pack 100’s Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts gathered at Denson Pool to start of the year with a SPLASH! They learned about the precautions to take whenever going swimming or doing any kind of boating. Our Scouts know that they must always have a buddy and an adult around, that they should check weather conditions, and more! The boys also learned the “Order of Rescue,” and that they should always try to reach a drowning victim by throwing them something or reaching out to them with a pole or a rope rather than diving in and putting themselves at risk. One of the lifeguards at the pool helped demonstrate proper rescue techniques, and talked to them about what it takes to be a lifeguard. Each Scout then attempted various levels of the BSA Swim Test, and many of them surprised themselves by doing better than they expected. The day was finished off with snacks and fun times racing down the various pool slides. Way to go Webelos!!
