** Troop Tribune ————————————————————
No Meeting this Evening There will be no meeting this Thursday, March 28th, due to spring break for Mason and Lebanon.
Summer Camp Payment Due The second summer camp payment of $150 is now due. Please see Mr. Washington to make your payment.
Swim Checks Our troops will have a BSA Swim Check session on Sunday April 7th at the Mason Community Center. We will rent one lane of the competition pool from 2 to 3pm so that those who do not belong to the Center will not need to pay for admission. For full participation in any water related activities, BSA rules require each person, youth or adult, to have qualified as a Swimmer within the past 12 months. This is especially important for the canoe trip and summer camp but will apply to any aquatic activity with the troops. Persons who only qualify as Beginners are restricted in what they can do, and Non Swimmers are restricted even more.
Swimmer qualification: Jump into the water and swim 75 yards using any of the following strokes. Crawl, racing back, breast, side, or Trudgen. Next swim 25 yards using the resting or elementary back stroke and finish by demonstrating a back float.
Beginner qualification: Jump into the water and swim 25 yards, then return to the starting point.
In both cases holding onto the side of the pool is not allowed.
If there are a lot of people we will extend the time until 3pm but only for Community Center members. Because of that, from 2 to 3 we will give priority to non members. As time, space, and instructors permit, people can do 1st or 2nd Class or Merit Badge requirements. At the April 4th meeting please let us know if you are coming, your phone number, and whether or not you are a Community Center member.
For questions contact Mr. Walker at (513) 398-1516, trwalk40@gmail.com or Mr. Weaver at (513) 403-4112, stewart.weaver@gmail.com.
We are planning to have another session on May 19 but that is not firm yet.
