5 AQUATICS INFORMATION Aqua'cs is one of the favorite ac'vi'es at Cub World. At Cub World (and in all Cub Scout and Boy Scout ac'vi'es) we take safety very seriously. To the right is the swim test that you will take upon your arrival at camp. Youth and adults who want to par'cipate in Aqua'cs programs must take a swim test. Most youth that adend Cub World are at least a beginner, so do not worry if you are not the strongest swimmer. The staff at Cub World will do some swimming instruc'on. Below is an excerpt from the BSA Aqua'cs Supervision Manual regarding Swim Test. The paddleboats and rowboats are available to all youth no mader their swimming ability, but they must wear a lifejacket and be accompanied by an adult who has passed the swim test as a Swimmer. WHAT DO I NEED TO HAVE WHEN I CHECK IN? Being prepared helps the check-in process go a lot more quickly. Here is a check list of everything needed upon check-in. These apply to any overnight resident camp. Medical Forms: For Cub Scouts and all adults staying overnight at camp (these will not be returned so please plan accordingly). Bring copies. Keep originals. We must keep the copy that is brought to camp. 2 copies of your final roster: This helps us stay organized and keep track of who is at our camp! Medicaons: Each Pack is responsible for securing and distribu'ng medica'ons to their Scouts from the original labeled container. If you need a secure lockbox, Cub World will have some available for you to check out. Swim checks will happen right a@er check-in, so have your swimming gear ready! Scouts and Adults can take the swim test. 5

6 CUB WORLD PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Climbing Tower: Scaling the 16-foot climbing tower is a must for all par'cipants at camp. All safety equipment is provided for this challenging program. This helps youth develop confidence in themselves and others. Fitness Course: Want to test your agility and strength? Our obstacle course has more than 10 obstacles to challenge the most ac've Cub Scout! Outdoor Skills: During Outdoor Skills, youth will start learning the skills required to be a Scout. The hands-on experience of knot tying, making a fire, cooking, and camp skills is perfect for you and your scout to do together. Youth will also get to look around a handmade log cabin. 6

7 CUB WORLD PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS Waterfront: Swimming in Bass Lake is one of the most popular ac'vi'es at camp. There are three swimming ability classifica'ons for Cub Scouts and adults: Non-swimmer: Cannot complete the beginner s swimming test Beginner: Must be able to jump into water over their heads, level off, swim 25 yards, turn, and return to star'ng point. Swimmer: Must be able to swim 75 yards in a strong manner, 25 yards using the elementary back stroke, and at the end of the 100 yards rest by floa'ng.

Shoo ng Sports: Cub Scouts will be able to receive instruc'on in archery, B.B. Guns, and rock throwing. Handicra7: All Cub Scouts enjoy it.

14 CUB WORLD: THE ADULT EXPERIENCE Leaders are the founda'on of all Scou'ng programs. Without your involvement there would be no Cub Scou'ng program. Our Cub Scout program not only provides fun and exci'ng experiences for youth, but we try to involve the leaders as much as possible. Here are the reasons we want YOU at Cub World. Leaders are role models to our future Scouts. Cub World is a fast-paced, fun-filled environment that promotes good ci'zenship and opportuni'es for personal achievement for both adult leaders and for Cubs. Opportunity to spend me with your child or others in your community. Cub World offers mul'ple opportuni'es to bond with Scouts, make a difference in their lives, and release your inner child! We celebrate your involvement! Every session, a@er the Cub Scouts go to bed we gather in the fort for our leader s cracker barrel. It is a 'me to play games, unwind, tell stories, make friends, and just relax! Opportunies to learn new skills. Many adults are new to Scou'ng. Cub World provides the skills needed to assist your child s progression through Scou'ng. Many ac'vi'es for adults are available including fire-building, knife safety, boa'ng, climbing and rappelling, and archery, as well as other life skills that will benefit both adults and kids. We have good food! Our goal at Cub World is to ensure that we not only feed our scouts correctly, but provide delicious and nutri'ous food for adults as well. IT S FUN! Cub scouts, leaders, and staff par'cipate in skits, games, and themed ac'vi'es. If we can find a way to involve the leaders, we do! LEADERSHIP POLICY We strongly encourage every adult a=ending camp to take Youth Protecon Training. Each unit adending Cub World must have a minimum of two BSA registered adults with the group at all 'mes, plus one addi'onal adult for every 4 cubs adending. (8 Scouts = 2 adults; 9-11 Scouts = 3 adults; Scouts = 4 adults). Adults must be at least 21 years of age and can be male or female. They are expected to keep order among the Cub Scouts in the campsite and give direc'on to their movement from one area to another as the schedule permits.

Please indicate that on your online registra'on. Tiger/1 st Grade scouts must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. 14

All medicaon is to be maintained in original containers in a secured locaon by the leaders of each Pack (Lockboxes available to check out). If medicaon needs to be in a temperature controlled environment please menon that upon check-in and work with the Cub World Commissioner. TRADING POST To ensure that Cub Scouts do not lose their money, we recommend that one of the leaders bring a lockbox to camp. Each Cub Scout in your unit should write his name and the amount of money on an envelope, put his money inside, and deposit it in the lockbox. The Cub Scouts can go to the Trading Post during their open 'me. The leader can bring the lockbox with them to the Trading Post or can hand out money before they go. When the Cub Scout takes his money out of the envelope, he writes how much he took and ini'als it. If he has money le@ a@er visi'ng the Trading Post, he can put it back in his envelope. This may be a lidle more work, but it will greatly reduce the amount of money lost by your Cub Scouts. Cub World will offer a Mini-Trading Post on loca'on for those last-minute buys! This will offer convenience, accessibility, and alleviate some stress for those who forgot some of the essen'als! T-shirts, Cub Scout-related items, handicra@ projects, candy, and soda are available for purchase at the Trading Post. 22
