If you haven’t been in the water in awhile, it might be a good idea to go for a visit. The BSA swim test is located on page 168 of the Handbook in the Aquatics section. Both Second Class and First Class ranks have aquatics requirements. Any camper at Goshen, adult or youth, who wishes to participate in waterfront activities must take the swim test.
WHAT: The Troop’s biggest, most fun-filled event, the 46th Annual Memorial Day Family Canoe Trip, May 24-26, 2019.
WHERE: South fork of the Shenandoah River, near Bentonville, Virginia with the Downriver Canoe Company.
WHO: All Troop 893 registered Scouts (girls troop and boys troop), former Troop members, all Venturing Crew 893 registered Venturers, their families. This is a family event, but because it is also a Scout event, ALCOHOL IS NOT ALLOWED.
Transportation, camping, grubmaster duties, cooking, cleanup, and canoeing or kayaking are done by families (or arranged by families), not by the Troop or by patrols.
WHEN: Set up camp before nightfall Friday, eat, sleep, canoe, and be home on Sunday evening. Families from the Boys Troop may informally meet in the parking lot of CUMC at 5:30 Friday evening (or any other target time you arrange) if you need to go with others. We can arrange to meet there too as well.
Registration details will be forthcoming.
