All scouts attending summer camp must have a swim tag with swimming level, determined by a certified lifeguard. Eagle Scout Shawn Flanagan will conduct this test for us again this year.
Merit Badges at Summer Camp
Summer camp is fun, adventure, learning, friends, outdoors and merit badges. Here are three sashes for a 1st year, 4th year and leader scout. Lot of merit badges earned and the majority were earned at summer camp. A big reason the troop goes to summer camp is to for the scouts to learn and earn merit badges.
