Lifesaving Merit Badge

LIFESAVING MERIT BADGE – Cost $60

The main purpose of the Lifesaving merit badge is to prepare Scouts to assist those involved in water accidents, teaching them the basic knowledge of rescue techniques, the skills to perform them, and the judgment to know when and how to act so that they can be prepared for emergencies.

You Need:  Wear Class A Uniform, bring scout book if you are not at least 1st Class, blue card, pen or pencil, swim suit, goggles, sack lunch, money for vending machine, clothes to get in the pool (pants & shirt) and dry clothes for the classroom.

Young swimSwim Test - Cost $10

The BSA swim test is used to determine ability level so that participants can swim in an area which is appropriate for them.

Scouts and adults must pass the BSA swim test to take part in most aquatics activites. At camp, there is always a buddy board where you check in according to your ability level. The swim test is also used as a requirement for some advancement. Almost any rank advancement involving swimming or boating will require a swim test.

Call 281-445-3483 to schedule your swim test during normal business hours.  Troops have the option to set up a day for everyone to complete the swim test.
