1 Quivira Scout Ranch Boy Scout Resident Camp 2015 Program Guide Revised Come to QSR and experience our "Brand of Scouting" BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA Quivira Council 3247 N. Oliver Wichita, Kansas

2 Dear Leaders: In 2015 we are planning a more diversified and challenging program at Quivira Scout Ranch. We will be adding Welding and Fire Safety Merit Badges, a Troop/Patrol COPE competition, more access to our waterfront for Scouts and leaders with additional activities available, an expanded shooting sports program, a Baden-Powell program more in tune to Troops needs, and a general redesign of program in all areas. We will have a redesigned menu and improved Dining Hall layout for better usage and flow. Campfires will also see some modification having more Troop involvement with programs on Friday nights. Please note that there are several forms that must be completed prior to camp and others that are highly encouraged. Some important items to review as camp draws near are: Apr 30 Special Needs Requests deadline This includes youth and adult needs for special foods, physical limitations, medical needs, etc. Sign-up your youth and adults for merit badges and activities using BadgeTracker at least one week before camp. If you complete your swim checks before camp then please sign-up your youth for the swimming level they completed in BadgeTracker. This allows us to have your wrist bands completed and available at check-in. If your unit will not complete the swim checks prior to camp as recommended then you will need to sign scouts up for a swim check time in BadgeTracker. When you arrive at camp Have full physicals, troop roster, and completed swim tests available in a single packet when you arrive at the front gate of QSR. We also encourage you to plan your own outpost adventure, hike the Border Patrol, have a troop campfire, and take advantage of your time in the great outdoors. Example outings are here in the leaders guide with advance sign-ups suggested. We, along with the entire camp staff, appreciate this opportunity to work with each of you to provide your Scouts with a memorable summer camp experience. Feel free to let any one of us know what we can do to assist you this year. Again, thank you for your time and leadership to your troop. Yours in Scouting, Pat McGuire, Camp Director, pmc4115@gmail.com Mark Hunter, Program Director, bsaqsr@gmail.com 2

4 QUIVIRA SCOUT RANCH MISSION STATEMENT The Quivira Scout Ranch year-round mission is to provide an opportunity for Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops, Varsity Teams, Venturing Crews, and Explorer Posts to have fun, learn skills, and practice Scouting programs in the outdoors under their own leadership. The philosophy of our Ranger, professional staff, and program staff is a total commitment to serving Scouts and their adult leaders to the best of our ability. In pursuit of this meaningful goal, we pledge to strive to incorporate the following items into every Quivira Scout Ranch activity. 1. Teaching & Coaching: Traditional Scouting skills will be taught to all those in need of instruction. 2. Values: All of us are committed to being good role models, always exemplifying the Scout Oath and Law. 3. Fun: We will deliver fun-filled camp-wide programs that will be enjoyed and remembered by every youth who come to camp. 4. Quality Program: An emphasis on quality and good health, with careful attention paid to program content, menu selections, trading post sales, and physical activities will be part of everything we do. In order to live up to this commitment to our customers, Quivira Scout Ranch will feature a quality, mature, energetic, enthusiastic staff providing activities that will lead Cub Scouts into the Boy Scout program, and help young men on the Trail to Eagle Scout. GETTING BOYS EXCITED ABOUT CAMP! This can be accomplished in many ways. Several ideas for promotion include: Take your Scouts to Quivira Scout Ranch during the "off season", and let them explore. Discuss the different program areas and many historical sites around camp. Hold troop fund raising projects to help Scouts earn part of their own camp fees including the Annual Quivira Council popcorn sale. A Scout can pay their entire camp fee by selling popcorn in the Fall and Spring. Show slides or videos of previous summer camps at meetings. These are available online at Invite former and current staff members, Leaders and Scouts to visit your troop to talk about camp to heighten the boys' interest. Invite an Order of the Arrow Unit Election/Camp Promotion Team to one of your troop meetings. Contact your District Camping Chairman or Chapter Chief for assistance with this. Talk about the Baden Powell program, Merit Badge, and other specialty programs at Quivira Scout Ranch. While on a troop campout, have a campfire and share songs, stories and skits from previous summer camp experiences. Encourage your troop to prepare for and compete in camp competitions. 4

5 Horses: The horses are coming back to QSR! We are one of only a handful of camps in the region that offers basic horsemanship and the Horsemanship Merit Badge. Jet-Skis & All-Terrain Vehicles: Take part in these exciting classes that teach Scouts to safely ride and maintain these vehicles. Stand-up Paddleboarding: A new challenge on our awesome lake at camp. Climbing Wall: Located under the canopy at the gable end of the Hale Family Dining Hall, the climbing wall adds another dimension to our climbing program. Protected from weather, and illuminated for evening climbing, the climbing wall has expanded our climbing program. Advanced Indian Lore: Youth and adults are welcome to take part in this program which extends beyond the Indian Lore merit badge. Chaplain Aide Training & QSR Duty to God Award: Work with our Chaplain to complete Chaplain Aide Training or the QSR Duty to God Award. You can re-earn the QSR Duty to God Award and receive a yearly rocker strip for the patch. Project COPE: Come to COPE as a patrol or as an individual. You will leave as part of a team. Youth and adults participate in fun team building exercises that they can take back to their units. Know your Knots: Scouts should know their knots and basic pioneering before taking the Pioneering Merit Badge. We have added a Pioneering Knots lesson session early in the week for Scouts who may need some assistance or just more practice. Black Powder & More: Black Powder continues as an activity this year along with an area that has a variety of alternative armaments. Camp Service: Everyone is encouraged to provide service to our camp. Join the tribe on the first block on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning to help us improve camp. Scoutmaster Merit Badge: Modeled after the BSA Journey to Excellence, ALL adult leaders can earn this distinctive award by completing requirements in three categories. The requirements change every year so come back and try it again. Will you achieve Bronze, or go for the Gold? Daily Adventures Beyond the Merit Badge: Activities and treks for older scouts and often leaders will be each day. These include the Marksman Program, Bike Treks, Boots & Paddles Treks, COPE/Climbing, and other activities. Details will be presented in the Leader s Guide. 5

Leaders need to make sure that visitors do not bring alcoholic beverages and do not wear sandals or open toe shoes. REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS The Quivira Council, BSA provides program, facilities, and services without regard to race, color, national origin, age, gender, or handicap. However, all full time adult leaders and youth on camp must be currently registered members of BSA. All part time adult leaders that will be camping overnight must be currently registered members of BSA. Also, no camper, youth or adult, will be permitted to stay in camp unless their full camp fees have been paid prior to the start of their camp session. CAMP SCOUTMASTER REQUIREMENTS The person in charge of your troop must be at least 21 years of age. There are no exceptions. In addition, it is the policy of the Boy Scouts of America that all Scout outings have at least two-deep leadership at all times.* At least two registered adult leaders, one of whom must be 21 years of age or older and certified in youth protection, are required for all outings. The result is more fun for the adults and a better program for the Scouts. Preferably, the troop should be under the leadership of its registered Scoutmaster. If the Scoutmaster is unable to attend full time, the troop committee should name a Camp Scoutmaster. The Camp Scoutmaster works with the Senior Patrol Leader, and together they develop and schedule the troop's program. The camp Scoutmaster should participate in the daily leader s meeting and assign and coordinate the responsibilities for all the adult leadership at camp for your unit. * If your troop is having trouble meeting these requirements, contact the Scout Office to make alternate arrangements. We want every youth to attend camp. FULL & PART TIME LEADERSHIP NOTES All adult leaders attending camp must have paid their full camp fee prior to the start of camp. Part-time adult leaders must check-in upon arrival at camp, and checkout through the office as they depart. 7

(Awarded by Staff) KANSA LODGE: ORDER OF THE ARROW The Order of the Arrow is Scouting s National Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America. The Order of the Arrow at the Quivira Scout Ranch is a part of the camp program and the staff attempts to bring the Order s ideals to life every day at camp. The Order of the Arrow has four main purposes: To recognize those campers--scouts and Scouters--who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives, and by such recognition, cause other campers to conduct themselves in such manner as to warrant recognition. To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit. To promote Scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as a part of the unit's camping program, and to help strengthen the district and council camping program both year round and at summer camp, as directed by the camping and activities committees of the council. To crystallize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life of leadership in cheerful service to others. Chapter election teams hold Order of the Arrow elections within their districts in the spring. The Scouts are elected by their peers and are inducted into the Order in the fall or spring at an Ordeal weekend. OA Day will be on Thursday of each session. Every member of the Order of the Arrow (including the new Ordeal members) is encouraged to wear the OA sash, or an OA t-shirt to demonstrate OA spirit. All Arrowmen are invited and encouraged to attend Arrowman 101 during the summer camp session. Arrowman 101 is a program to help both new and current Arrowmen become familiar with the opportunities that Order of the Arrow affords its members. 11

12 ADULT LEADER TRAINING & ACTIVITIES Coffee (for leaders only) is available all day in the serving line area of Hale Family Dining Hall. Every adult in camp is required to have current Youth Protection Training. A training session is available Sunday evening to any adult who does not have current Youth Protection Training. Adult leaders are encouraged to check in on Scouts at the various program areas throughout the camping session. The program staff in each area is eager to answer any questions you may have regarding your Scouts. Get involved in activities at QSR during your stay and earn the Scoutmaster Merit Badge. Look for details on the web page and at summer camp. Sign-up to take these trainings SM/ASM Specifics and Intro to Outdoor Leader Skills Scoutmaster/Assistant Scoutmaster Specifics and Introduction to Outdoor Leaders Skills leader training will be offered on Tuesday starting after the first session and ending Thursday morning. Participants will be released early Wednesday so they can accompany units on outposts and other unit activities. The training will cover important aspects of Scouting that will help your leaders provide the best program for the most success of your boys. This training takes three days, and is an all-day program. If you have leaders who need training, this is a great time to take care of this need in your troop! Training will be held in the Melone Training Center. Leaders can register for the training in BadgeTracker along with the troop merit badge registration, or through the Program Department. Participants should ensure that their troop has sufficient adult leadership to address issues requiring two-deep leadership. Contact the Camp Director or Program Director should you require assistance. Other Training Offered in Program Areas Safety Afloat, Safe Swim Defense, and Climb-On Safely is available online while at camp. Leave No Trace training may be offered upon advanced request. Additional training can be offered upon request by contacting the Program Director. 12

13 Statement regarding Open and Concealed Carry on Council Properties Based on the recommendation of the Program and Properties Committee and as approved by the Executive Board of the Quivira Council, neither open carry nor concealed carry is allowed on any Quivira Council Properties including Camp Kanza, Quivira Scout Ranch and the Council Service Center. This is in the best interest and safety of youth and is consistent with the Guide to Safe Scouting (see below) and within the rights of private property owners according to Law HB From the Guide to Safe Scouting Shooting Sports The Boy Scouts of America adheres to its longstanding policy of teaching its youth and adult members the safe, responsible, intelligent handling, care, and use of firearms, air rifles, BB guns, and archery equipment in planned, carefully managed, and supervised programs. Except for law enforcement officers required to carry firearms within their jurisdiction, firearms shall not be brought on camping, hiking, backpacking, or other Scouting activities except those specifically planned for target shooting under the supervision of a currently certified BSA national shooting sports director or National Rifle Association firearms instructor. Campsite details: All campers need to bring their own tents to use. QSR does not normally have tents to loan or rent so please come prepared to support your troop or crew s needs for the full session of camp. Most campers find that sleeping on a cot inside their tent works the best for a week-long summer camp helping them to rest properly after a full day of fun. Campsites all have a generous amount of shade to them thanks to the great wooded areas in Pioneer Camp. Campsites do not have electricity. If one of more of your campers (youth or adult) uses a CPAP or similar machine to assist sleeping, that camper will need to bring a battery-powered unit. Your local electronics store or medical equipment store may have suggestions and alternatives to suggest if you re unfamiliar with the battery-powered units. 13

14 Dear Leaders and Parents: This is the schedule for the 2015 Quivira Scout Ranch (QSR) Summer Camp Season. We will be using the online BadgeTracker system this year for merit badge and activity signup. Each troop will receive a login to register youth and adults for programs at camp. Programs can fill up so it is important to register participants before the online system closes one week prior to your camp session. Schedules do sometimes change and classes are adjusted so we will provide a printed schedule for each person registered for classes at camp and a summary list for scoutmasters. Please do not print the schedules from BadgeTracker because they will not show the correct times. At QSR we use a block scheduling system. Please note that the block times for Monday are different than the rest of the week. A merit badge or activity may require a single block or as many as four blocks. It is possible to enroll a scout in up to twelve merit badges but most merit badges require some work outside of the classes and the scout may have difficulty completing the badges while still enjoying the camp session. A mix of some activities, single session badges, and multiple session badges are recommended. It is not required to have a program scheduled for every block. Youth and adults participating in the Tribe of Quivira program who are 2 nd year campers at QSR should sign up for one of the camp service opportunities available on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning. These service opportunities are also open to all other campers at QSR. Youth and adults participating in the Tribe of Quivira program who are 3 rd year campers at QSR may need an open block or two to carve their stone. Finger Printing and Fire Safety are two merit badges that will be offered in the Handicraft area during the open program times each afternoon. You will not sign up for these in BadgeTracker Participants in rifle, black powder, and shotgun programs must attend a Rifle/BP/Shotgun Safety Session before their class session. Even if they attended a safety session in past years they must attend a safety session this year. The same safety session applies to both rifle and shotgun so if a scout is enrolled in both classes they only have to attend one safety session. BadgeTracker will require registration in two safety sessions but we can schedule another activity by request. Participants in jet skiing must sign-up for and attend the safety sessions during blocks 1 and 10. Participants in golf must sign-up for and attend the intro session during block 3. QSR is a large camp so you may want to try and schedule the block classes with only 20 minutes between blocks close together. These are blocks 2 & 3, 4 & 5, 7 & 8, and 10 & 11. The program areas grouped close together are: ATV/Horses/Cope/Climbing, Handicraft/Tech/Tribe, Outdoor Skills/Baden Powell/Shooting Sports, and Nature/Aquatics. Traveling between ATV/Horses/Cope/Climbing and Nature/Aquatics in 20 minutes would be very difficult and part of the class would be missed. We also encourage you to plan your own outpost adventure, hike the Border Patrol, have a troop campfire, and take advantage of your time in the great outdoors. Schedule your programs around troop activities. Remember that April 30 is the Special Needs Requests deadline This includes youth and adult needs for special foods, physical limitations, medical needs, etc. When you arrive at camp please have full physicals, troop roster, and pre-camp swim tests completed and available in a single packet when you arrive at the gate of QSR. We, along with the entire camp staff, appreciate this opportunity to work with each of you to provide your Scouts with a memorable summer camp experience. Feel free to let any one of us know what we can do to assist you this year. Again, thank you for your time and leadership to your troop.

19 MERIT BADGES, PROGRAMS, and AWARDS You may notice that some merit badges appear to be no longer offered. We are working on a rotating schedule for a number of badges now. For example: Citizenship in the Nation is being offered this year and World will be offered next year. The unit leadership must go online to sign-up the scouts for all merit badges and many activities. When you receive your unit s sign-on ID and password from the Council Program Assistant, you will then be able to sign-up your scouts for Merit Badge classes. Please review class requirements on the following pages before signing up your Scouts. QSR has some prerequisites and age requirements that may not be listed in the merit badge requirements. Scouts should review the merit badge pamphlet requirements before camp and work with their Scoutmaster to sign up for the number of merit badges that can adequately be completed at summer camp. Scoutmasters know their Scouts best and should register a Scout for the number of merit badges the Scout can adequately complete at camp while allowing time to explore QSR. Merit Badges may: Have requirements that must be completed before coming to camp. See the Details section for information on these requirements. Have writing.

32 Tribe of Quivira The first documentation of the Tribe of Quivira was in 1923 at Camp Ta-Wa-Sen-Tha, near Oxford, Kansas. The mission of the Tribe of Quivira (Old Warrior) program has been to encourage Scouts and Scouting units to camp at a Quivira Council Summer Camp. In 1961, the program was first used at the new Quivira Scout Ranch. Among the many changes approved by the Council Camping Committee was the formation a Tribal Council in 1994 to oversee the activities of the Tribe. You can pick out those members who wear the white coup of the Tribal Council and offer your support and suggestions. A role of the Tribal Council is to provide support for program activities at our Council camps. With the merger of the Quivira and Kanza Councils in 1997, we now have two excellent camps to offer our Scouts and Troops--Quivira Scout Ranch and Camp Kanza both of which count towards the Tribe of Quivira program. In 2003, with the change to Camp Kanza to a Cub Scout and Webelos camp, the Tribal Council voted to establish a Webelos program at Camp Kanza to provide Webelos a head start into the Old Warrior program, called the Hiawatha Trails program. Old Warrior Program Tasks of the Tribesmen of Quivira (Each camper year is a full week (5 days minimum) at Summer Camp) In addition to the many activity areas, elective Scouting programs and adventure opportunities offered at Quivira Scout Ranch (QSR). Scouts and adult leaders may participate in the Tribe of Quivira (Old Warriors) program. Scouts receive a program orientation during their camp week in preparation for special tribal ceremonial activities. The Tribe of Quivira provides continuity by encouraging year to year participation in a Quivira Council Scout camp. The program offers symbolic advancement through the Tribe until the designation of Tribal Elder is attained at the conclusion of the individual s fifth year of summer camp at QSR and his or her sincere effort in completing the following requirements: Trackers (1st Year Campers) To Protect the camp by keeping it clean and free of litter. Starting on Wednesday, first-year participants will Protect the camp by keeping it free from litter. Trash bags will be provided on Wednesday and Thursday to be used to pick up trash along the trails and program areas. When a bag has been filled it is to be returned to the Tribe area so the campers name can be recorded. First year ceremony: The first year camper ceremony begins at the Totem Pole at 9:00AM Friday. Each camper should bring the following to the ceremony: paper, pencil, ground cloth, and an inspirational book. Campers will hear and see the story of Hiawatha as told by Longfellow. Once the story of Hiawatha is finished the Medicine Man will conduct the rest of the ceremony and will instruct the campers on the guidelines they must follow for the day. At Friday night campfire, first year campers are elevated from Trackers to Hunters and given their Coup Thong. 32

33 Hunters (2nd Year Campers) To Preserve the camp by practicing good conservation and maintaining the camp. During the camp week, but before Friday morning, Hunters will Preserve the camp, by completing a service project. There are scheduled blocks during the week for completing service projects. Campers are to meet at the Tepee to receive directions for completion of their service project and have their names recorded. In addition to completing their service project each Hunter will collect and tie two bundles of wood and bring them to the Tepee. Each Hunter will find a log approximately 2 to 3 in diameter and 18 long and will carve their Initials and Troop number into the log and bring it to the Tepee for further direction. Second Year Ceremony The second year camper ceremony begins at the Totem Pole at 10:00AM Friday. Hunters should bring their logs that they have carved and be wearing their coup thong. The Medicine Man will conduct the ceremony and will instruct the campers on the guidelines they must follow for the day. At Friday night campfire, second year campers are elevated from Hunters to Braves and given a yellow service block to be added to their coup thong. Braves (3rd Year Campers) To Test yourself by carrying a rock burden, symbolic of life s challenges. Braves advance in the Tribe by finding, carving initials into, and carrying a rock of specific dimensions during their third year of camp. The purpose of this symbolic burden is to remind Scouts that they will have to make hard decisions and handle increasing responsibilities which they will carry with them throughout life. During the week a Brave attends camp, they will find a rock from somewhere within the QSR property boundaries. To insure the rock is the proper weight and dimensions, it must be brought to the Tepee and weighed by a Tribal Council member before any work is started. The rock is required to weigh between 16 and 24 pounds. The Brave carves their initials into the rock using the following dimensions: Initials must be 3 high, ½ deep, and (each leg of initial) ½ wide. Each Brave must supply their own tools and safety equipment to complete their rock. (i.e., hammer, chisel, gloves and safety glasses). The rock must be completed and turned in to the Tepee for final approval on or before 6PM on Thursday of their week in camp. Third Year Ceremony The third year camper ceremony begins at the Totem Pole at 5:30AM Friday. At this time the Medicine Man will give you instructions for the rest of the day. Following are requirements that each participant, in addition to the Medicine Man instructions, must observe throughout Friday: (Exceptions: A physician s release or a physically challenging condition may require a designated helper or waiver of parts of the program.) The Brave (Warrior candidate) MUST transport and support their burden (Rock) from the time they retrieve it on Friday morning until they are relieved of that burden through the receipt of their Indian name and Eagle Claw at Friday night s campfire. (There is a safe area exception to this rule, see below.) Under no circumstance should the Warrior candidate give their burden to anyone to hold, carry, etc.. No Warrior candidate can use a Backpack, suitcase, sling, etc. to transport their burden. A towel may be used as padding but the initials and burden must be visible and displayed with pride at all times. 33

34 Safe Areas : Will be established in each activity area, within each campsite and any area designated by the Medicine Man. The purpose of the safe area is to allow the Scout to participate in designated activities. These activities consist of merit badge program activities, designated camp activities, meal times (if in campsite) and latrine use. Safe areas should only be used a reasonable minimum amount of time. A burden may not be removed from any area except by the owner of the burden or by a Tribal Elder (Wearer of the Large White bead on their Coup Thong). Any burden found to be mislaid or forgotten should be reported to a Tribal Elder who should respectfully retrieve the burden and bring to the Tepee. Once a burden has been retrieved by a Tribal Elder the Brave must perform a service project designated by the Tribe before it is returned. Naming of the Warrior Candidate An Indian name must be found and turned in to the Tepee no later than noon on Thursday of the week the Scout is in camp. The adult leadership will initiate the naming of the Warrior candidate. The Indian translation must be selected from a source approved by the Tribal Council at camp. (Dakota dictionary, etc...). The purpose of the Indian Name is to highlight an important strength, never a weakness, nor be a burden to the new Warrior. A committee of Tribal Elders will meet to review the Warrior candidate names. If a name does not meet the Elders approval the troop leadership will be notified and asked to provide another name. The Tribal Council shall have the final authority on all Indian Names. Warrior (4 th Year Camper) To Dedicate yourself to the support of the Tribe of Quivira. During the week, the Warriors must assist in Tribal activities. On Friday they are asked to assist in one of the first, second or third year ceremonies. Forth year and above campers are responsible for building and tending to the fire for Friday night s closing campfire. Fourth Year Ceremony The fourth year camper ceremony begins at the Tepee at 9PM on Thursday. Warriors are required to wear their Coup Thong to the ceremony. If they are found worthy by the Tribal Elders they will be given the opportunity to Blue the tip of their Eagle Claw. At that time they are elevated to the position of Old Warriors. Old Warriors (Fifth year Camper) To Give Leadership to the Tribe by guiding the growth of younger Tribesmen. Old Warriors are encouraged to help with the tribal program throughout their camp week. They also are encouraged to sit on the review committee for all new Indian Names that are given that week. Fifth Year Ceremony The fifth year camper ceremony begins at the Tepee at 9PM on Thursday. Old Warriors are required to wear their Coup Thong to the ceremony. If they are found worthy by the Tribal Elders they will be given the opportunity to receive the Indian Head which they attach to their service block. At that time they are elevated to the position of Tribal Elders. Tribal Elders are afforded the highest respect at all ceremonial campfires. Tribal Council The Tribal Council oversees the activities of the Tribe of Quivira. Members of the Tribal Council will be recognized with a White Coup (Large Bead) on the Coup Thong. Speak with a member of the Tribal Council to get the requirements to become a Tribal Council member. 34

35 Honorary Chief Each week, at the opening campfire, the Tribesman with the greatest tenure at QSR will be recognized as the Honorary Chief for that week. He will assist in ceremonies and the approval of Warrior rocks. At closing campfire the Honorary Chief will be presented a set of White coup beads. A Tribesman may be an Honorary Chief only once. 35

38 Quivira Council Swimming Classification Procedure Overview: The swimming classification of individuals participating in BSA activities is a key element of Safe Swim Defense, Safety Afloat and the Guide to Safe Scouting. Swimming classifications must be renewed at least annually within the calendar year of summer camp or the activity swimming will be a part of. Traditionally the swimmer classification test has been conducted at resident camps only. There is no requirement that this be the only place. Where appropriate and safe, swimming classification tests can be conducted prior to summer camp. All persons (youth and leaders) are required to complete the swimming classification test prior to aquatics activities. Swimmer Test Blue Swimmer Jump feet-first into water over your head in depth. The swimmer must be able to make an abrupt entry into deep water and begin swimming without any aids. Walking in from shallow water, easing in from the edge or down a ladder, pushing off from side or bottom, and gaining forward momentum by diving do not satisfy this requirement. 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 swimmer must perform a restful, free-breathing backstroke that can be used to avoid exhaustion during swimming activity. This element of the test necessarily follows the more strenuous swimming activity to show that the swimmer is, in fact, able to use the backstroke as a relief from exertion. The change of stroke must be accomplished in deep water without any push-off or other aid. Any variation of the elementary backstroke may suffice if it clearly allows the swimmer to rest and regain wind. The 100 yards must be swum continuously and include at least one sharp turn. The total distance is to be covered without rest stops. The sharp turn demonstrates the swimmer s ability to reverse direction in deep water without assistance or push-off from side or bottom. After completing the swim, rest by floating. This critically important part of the test evaluates the swimmer s ability to maintain himself in the water indefinitely even though exhausted or otherwise unable to continue swimming. Treading water or swimming in place will further tire the swimmer and therefore in unacceptable. The duration of the float test is not significant, except that it must be long enough for the test administrator to determine that the swimmer is resting and likely could continue to do so for a prolonged period. Drown proofing may be sufficient if clearly restful, but it is not preferred. If the test is completed except for the floating requirement, the swimmer may be retested on the floating only (after instruction) provided that the test administrator is confident that the swimmer can initiate the float when exhausted. The swimmer test demonstrates the minimum level of swimming ability required for safe deep-water swimming. The various components of the test evaluate the several skills essential to this minimum level of swimming ability. Beginner Test Red Swimmer 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. Non-Swimmer Test White Swimmer No test is required; however all are encouraged to get in the water. Administration of swimming test options: Complete the swimming test upon arrival at camp, OR Complete the swimming test prior to arrival at camp: The test must be administered by a certified person (Limited to BSA, Red Cross, or YMCA Lifeguard).
