We need some adult volunteers to help with keeping a watchful eye on our children.  Please complete the Safe Swim Defense course and get certified.  It only take 20 minutes.  Here is the link to MyScouting through BSA. https://myscouting.scouting.org/Pages/eLearning.aspx   If you are a MyScouting member all you need to do is log in and go to Safe Swim Defense course.  If you are not a member, you can create an account to become one. We can use as many people to be certified as possible.  We can never be safe enough when it comes to our children in the water.
