4 Here s How This spring the CAMP CARD FUNDRAISING PROGRAM will be introduced in the Northeast Georgia Council. The cards are easy to sell and have a great value. Cub Scouts can pay their way to camp while earning valuable prizes for themselves. Packs participating in the program can earn up to $4.00 on each Camp Card sold. Based on the Pack s plan this money can be applied to a Scout s account to attend camp. The goal is EVERY SCOUT IN CAMP. The Value of selling Camp Cards: Cub Scout Day Camp is only 15 cards or $60 Cub Scout Adventure Camp is only 20 cards or $80 GO TO CAMP FOR FREE! Camp Card Facsimile Your actual 2009 Camp Card will contain valuable localized coupons good for multi-use for one year. In the fall of each year, the Council organizes the Trail s End Popcorn Sale. During the months of October and November a Scout can help to earn his own way in Scouting by selling really great popcorn. 70% of the money for all popcorn that is sold stays right here in our community. 35% stays in the Pack and Troop s treasuries while another 35% goes to help improve our camps and to help kids who might not have a chance to be a Scout. Last year about $ , commission for popcorn sold was paid to Packs and Troops throughout the Northeast Georgia Council. That s a lot of corn! Do all of the things that you want to do for a full 12-month program including registration, Boys Life, uniforms, advancements, banquets, field trips, Day Camp, Fun With Son, Overnight Camp, etc. You can bet that it s going to take money to have all of that fun! When your Cub Scout Pack sets a budget and plans just how much money it will cost to have Scouting for the year a goal can be set and plans can be made to raise the funds. The NORTHEAST GEORGIA COUNCIL provides two Scouting fundraisers each year in which your Cub Scout Pack can participate, the CAMP CARD FUNDRAISING PROGRAM and the Trail s End Popcorn Sale.

Swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: sidestroke, breaststroke, trudgen, or crawl; then swim 25 yards using an easy, resting backstroke. The 100 yards must be completed in one swim without stops and must include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating. Beginner Test Jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, swim 25 feet on the surface, stop, turn sharply, resume swimming as before, and return to starting place. The entry and turn serve the same purpose as in the swimmer test. The swimming can be done with any stroke, but no underwater swimming is permitted. The stop assures that the swimmer can regain a stroke if it is interrupted. The test demonstrates that the beginning swimmer is ready to learn deepwater skills and has the minimum ability required for safe swimming in a confined area in which shallow water, sides, or other support is less than 25 feet from any point in the water. Safety Afloat Safety Afloat has been developed to promote boating and boating safety and to set standards for safe unit activity afloat. Canoeing, rowboating, and rafting for Cub Scouts (including Webelos Scouts) is to be limited to council/district events on flat-water ponds or controlled lake areas free of powerboats and sailboats. Prior to recreational canoeing, Cub Scouts are to be instructed in basic handling skills and safety practices. For Cub Scouts: The ratio of adult supervisors to participants is one to five. Swimming Ability A person who has not been classified as a swimmer may ride as a passenger in a rowboat or motorboat with an adult swimmer or in a canoe, raft, or sailboat with an adult certified as a lifeguard or a lifesaver by a recognized agency. In all other circumstances, the person must be a swimmer to participate in an activity afloat. Swimmers must pass Swimmer Test. 22
