We will be using the pool to prepare for our kayaking trip on the Connecticut River.   All Scouts will take the swim test.  Afterwards, we will have some pool time.

Per BSA policy, all scouts and adults participating in the trip will be required to take the standard BSA swim test. 

Requirements for the test may be found in your Scout Handbook, under First Class requirement 9b. Further details are found in the Swimming Merit Badge requirements (req. 3). You may view a video of the requirement (along with tips) here.

Troop 17 will do their part in honoring our fallen soldiers by participating in the Memorial Day parade.  We will meet at Memorial Park at 9:30am at Memorial Park. The parade kicks off at 10am.
