LEADERSHIP POLICY STATEMENT
All troops in camp must be under the leadership of
two adults at all times, one of whom must be twentyone (21) years of age or older. Leaders may rotate if
necessary, but at least two adults must be with the troop
twenty-four hours a day. At least one of these adults
must have been youth protection trained. Committee
members and other adult leaders who accompany a
unit must be registered members of the Boy Scouts
of America. Parents, who attend camp to meet the
requirement for the second adult, do not have to be
registered with BSA, but they need to be familiar with
BSA policies and camp policies. If it is necessary to
leave camp at any time, leaders must inform the camp
director prior to leaving.
DEL WEBB ADVENTURE BASE POLICY
One of the often-told Scoutmaster Minutes compares
a Scout camp to a city. Cities have streets, camps have
roads and trails. Cities have buildings and homes,
camps have tents. Where cities have many laws, at a
Scout camp there are just two, the Scout Law and the
Outdoor Code. This takes us right into the philosophy
of personal conduct we uphold at Del Webb Adventure
Base.
Page 1
A Scout Is. . .Trustworthy. . .Loyal. . .Helpful.
. .Friendly. . .Courteous. . .Kind. . .Obedient. .
.Cheerful. . .Thrifty. . .Brave. . .Clean. . .Reverent.
These twelve points proudly guide our camp.
As an American, I will do my best to be clean in
my outdoor manners. I will treat the outdoors as a
heritage. I will take care of it for myself and others. I
will keep my trash and garbage out of lakes, streams,
fields, woods, and roadways.
Be careful with fire. I will prevent wildfire. I will
build my fires only where they are appropriate. When
I have finished using fire, I will make sure it is cold out.
I will leave a clean fire ring, or remove all evidence of
my fire.
Be conservation-minded. I will treat public and
private property with respect. I will use low-impact
methods of hiking and camping.
All camper and staff conduct is judged as to how it
measures against these guidelines. At camp, we cannot
tolerate and will not permit activities that do not meet

Donald W. Reynolds Scouting Resource Center four
weeks (4) prior to your arrival date, and the unit/
crew has been paid in full.
(4) NO refunds can be made for cancellations within
4 weeks of your arrival date. They include any “no
shows” or unit members who leave during the camp
dates for any reason. At this point, monies have been
expended for staffing, food and supplies to support
your arrival at camp
Other extenuating circumstances, such as a death in
the family will certainly be taken into consideration
on a case-by case basis.
For Scouts wishing to attend summer camp, but need
financial help, the Las Vegas Sun has a special camper
fund set up to provide financial assistance. The Las
Vegas Area Council will favorably recommend all
registered Scouts who are in need of assistance to
attend one of the Las Vegas Area Council summer
camps. Applications are available at the council
resource center in the program office, after March 15,
2014. Those that apply must return their application
to the program office 30 days prior to attending camp.
For further information contact the program office at
(702) 968-8123 or 968-8138.

COMMISSIONER SERVICE
Del Webb Adventure Base provides a commissioner
staff that is your front-line team. While commissioners
have many duties and responsibilities, one of their
primary jobs is to help your unit meet its goals and
have a good camping experience. Rely on them as
a friend, counselor, and an expert in many areas. If
there is ever a question, the commissioner is the unit’s
first source for an answer. They know what is going
on or will get you an answer.
You can help your commissioner ensure you have a
great week in the following ways:
(1)
Pre-plan each Scout’s advancement goals
and plot their plans for camp.
(2)
Make sure your boys are assigned by patrols
for duty rotation and activity participation.
(3)
Attend the council pre-camp leaders’ meeting
on May 3, 2014 at 9 a.m.
(4)
Pre-plan your unit’s goals and come prepared
to meet them.
Your commissioner will meet with your unit upon
arrival at camp, and daily to see how things are going.
The commissioner is available to help out whenever
he or she can.
COUNSELOR-IN-TRAINING PROGRAM (CIT)
The summer camp youth staff is mainly composed of
young people sixteen (16) years of age or older. There
is a Counselor-In-Training program (CIT) for 14 and
15 year old boys and girls. These CIT positions are
summer camp staff jobs, but they receive only room
and board. No cash wages are involved. Scouts
interested may pick up an application at the council
resource center. The application must be signed by
the applicant’s unit leader, and by the parents. There
will also be an interview by the camp director. We
need good Scouts to take part in this great summer
adventure. APPLY NOW!!!
PRE-CAMP LEADERS’ MEETING
Every time a new frontier is conquered, there are
those who venture first to explore and bring back
information so that others may follow. If you have
never been to scout camp, this is a new adventure for
you. If you are an old hand at Scout camp, there is
much for you to share.
There will be A PRE-CAMP LEADERS’ MEETING
held by the camp director and his staff. Every unit
leader is required to attend, or send a representative to
this meeting. You will be given a clear description of
what the camp has to offer in merit badge programs,
as well as all other activities. This will allow you to
help your unit prepare for this event. You will have
the opportunity to ask questions and give suggestions.
These meetings will also give you the information
necessary to conduct your unit parents’ information
meeting.
PLEASE PLAN TO ATTEND:
MANDATORY LEADER’s MEETING:
Saturday, May 3, 2014, 9 a.m.
Donald W Reynolds Scouting Resource Center
7220 S Paradise Road, Las Vegas, NV 89119
Unit leaders need to attend the council’s pre-camp
leaders’ meeting in order to inform the parents, and
help their boys plan their participation accordingly.
Many units hold a parents’ information meeting
before camp. It is here that the details of camp are
presented to the parents. Questions and answers can
take a majority of the meeting. Do not expect to have
all the answers, but assure the parents a reply will be
returned to them.
PARENTS’ INFORMATION MEETING
It is important to encourage as many boys as possible
to attend camp. Just as important as getting your boys
excited about going to camp, is promoting it to their
parents. Certain promotional and informational data
should be shared with Scouts and parents in your unit.
The reason for this is to keep everyone informed,
involved, excited, and prepared for the event. The
Scouts need to know what to bring, what activities
to prepare for, and what merit badges are offered.
Parents will want to know cost, dates, location, where
to send mail, and how to get in touch with someone in
case of emergency. Scoutmasters need to know all of
this and be able to answer questions parents may have.
EXPERIENCE TELLS US . . . .
There is no teacher like experience, so here are a few
thoughts on how to get the most out of summer camp,
taken from the comments and observations made by
scoutmasters and staff over the past few years:
1.
Summer camp is a place to learn, explore,
and have fun with your friends. Merit
badges are just one part of the program.
2.
For first-year Scout campers, two merit badges
are generally enough, especially if they are
badges that he can complete and not badges
that require too much skill for a young Scout.
3.
For older Scouts, we suggest working on a
maximum of four merit badges during the
week. They will usually be working on more
difficult badges that will require even more
of their time. Merit badge books, paper,
and pencils are required for each Scout.
4.
Know which badges require the most skill and
physical strength. Rifle shooting is an example.

Merit badge work at camp can be
made easier if Scouts begin the work at
home—particularly the written work.
who can best help you with your needs and
we’ll give it our best effort at meeting them.
13.
6.
Just as they schedule merit badges, Scouts need to
be encouraged to schedule time to work on those
badges out of class. Even more importantly,
they need to take part in other aspects of the
camp’s programs. Take a hike, spend some
time in a canoe, or try your hand at handicrafts.
7.
Don’t forget to schedule some rest time too.
That’s right, save some time to just sit back on
your own and enjoy the wilderness around you.
This goes for Scoutmasters as well as Scouts.
8.
Come to camp prepared. Have your patrols
organized and select your leaders before you come.
By doing this, you and your leaders can work
on ideas for what your unit wants to do at camp.
9.
Make your campsite, your campsite! Make
it comfortable by adding improvements.
Just remember to leave the area in good
shape for the units that will follow you.
10.
Be spirited! Your unit can help the
whole camp to come alive, and everyone
will have a better experience. Come
prepared to share songs, cheers, and skits.
11.
Be flexible. Each week, there are as many as
two hundred Scouts at Del Webb Adventure
Base, and while our staff is dedicated to meeting
everyone’s needs, sometimes it can’t be done
right away, or just the way you had hoped.
Remember, a Scout is friendly, cheerful, and
courteous. We need to learn these lessons
so that we can pass them on to our boys.
12.

Communicate. Let us know how you’re doing,
what you need, and how we can help. Find out
Finally, help us help you. We want Del Webb
Adventure Base to be the finest Scout camp
in the state, but we can’t do that without your
support, encouragement, and concerns.
CHECK-IN AT CAMP
Your unit can choose to arrive on Sunday or Monday.
If you choose to come on Sunday, check-in begins at
1:30 p.m. A unit guide who will orient you and your
Scouts to where things are in camp will meet your unit.
After all your equipment is in your campsite your unit
guide will take you on a tour through the camp for
medical checks, swim checks, administration, rifle
and archery range orientation, other program areas
like handicraft and nature. Afterward your unit guide
will take you to your campsite.
At 7:00 p.m. senior patrol leaders (accompanied by
Scoutmasters) will meet with the camp director,
program director, and commissioner to review merit
badge schedules and other program needs.
MONDAY ARRIVAL
Some of our units may need to arrive early Monday
morning. Please let the program office know at least
two weeks prior to your unit’s arrival at camp. Please
have your roster and merit badge schedule ready upon
arrival.
Monday
Arrive at 7:00 a.m. and check-in/Medical
9:00 a.m. – Merit badge classes begin
12:00 p.m. – Lunch
1:00 p.m. – Senior patrol leaders’ meeting
(accompanied by Scoutmasters).
At the Dining Hall
RECEPTION AREA
Upon arrival at camp proceed to the parking lot. You
will be greeted by a unit guide from the staff. The unit
guide will stay with the unit and the unit leader along
with the unit senior patrol leader will be asked to go to
the camp office to begin the check-in process.
VEHICLES IN CAMP
Parking will be provided in the upper level of Del
Webb Adventure Base or at the checkin area. You will
be able to drive to your campsite and drop your gear.
Small trailers will be allowed to remain in campsites
at the Director’s discretion. Needless traffic on camp
service roads is a hazard. Plan to park, walk, exercise,
and enjoy the fresh air and the great-out-of-doors!
Because of the extremely dry conditions during the
summer months, the threat of wild fires exists. A
vehicle parked at a campsite becomes a potential
hazard in the event of a fire; and also is an obstruction
to fire fighting equipment.
ALL VEHICLES ARE TO BE BACKED INTO
THE PARKING SPACE.
NO VEHICLES WILL BE PERMITTED
TO STAY IN CAMPSITES.
EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS
In case of an emergency, contact the following:

PETS
Please leave all pets at home. No Pets of any type
are allowed by BSA National Standards. Registered
Service Animals are always accommodated. Del
Webb Adventure Base abounds with wildlife (snakes,
lizards, rabbits, etc.). These critters are safe and
comfortable in their natural habitat. Please do not ask
to take home any of the Del Webb residents.
SWIM CHECK
There are no swim checks at Del Webb. You must
bring the BSA Swim Check with you including a copy
of the lifeguards certification. All campers need to
have a buddy tag - whether swimming or not. Adults
do not need to do a swim test but it is needed for all
youth. A unit leader must be in attendance with the unit.
Any camper (adult or youth) who fails to produce the
Page 6
correct medical form will not be allowed to participate
in this activity.
According to 2011 The Guide to Safe Scouting,
page 9 , these are the swimming classifications and
requirements.
PRE-SWIM CHECK:

your
Passed
Ability Groups
All youth and adult participants are designated as
swimmers, beginners, or nonswimmers based on
swimming ability confirmed by standardized BSA
swim classification tests. Each group is assigned a
specific swimming area with depths consistent with
those abilities. The classification tests should be
renewed annually, preferably at the beginning of the
season.
Swimmers pass this test: Jump feet first into water
over the head in depth. Level off and 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.
Beginners pass this test: Jump feet first into water
over the head in depth, level off, and swim 25 feet
on the surface. Stop, turn sharply, resume swimming
and return to the starting place. Anyone who has not
completed either the beginner or swimmer tests is
classified as a nonswimmer. The nonswimmer area
should be no more than waist to chest deep and should
be enclosed by physical boundaries such as the shore,
a pier, or lines. The enclosed beginner area should
contain water of standing depth and may extend to
depths just over the head. The swimmer area may be
up to 12 feet in depth in clear water and should be
defined by floats or other markers.”
Page 7
The standard BSA Swim Test
Certification needs to be completed
before camp by a certified Life
Guard. A copy of that certification
must be attached to the BSA Swim
Test.
MEDICAL FORM INFORMATION
All scouts and leaders must use the annual Health
and Medical Record (#30176) which is available online at www.lvacbsa.org under FORMS. All sections
of the form must be filled out and signed by parents
and a physician licensed to practice in the state where
the scout or adult leader resides.
In the event of illness or injury, history and physical
forms provide valuable information needed for
treatment. These approved medical forms also contain
parent authorization for emergency treatment. A fully
equipped medical facility, staffed by a trained first aid
person is provided at camp at all times. Serious injuries
or illness requiring hospitalization will be transported
to the medical facilities in St George where we have a
pre-arranged agreement for treatment.
NOTE: ANY SCOUT THAT COMES TO CAMP
WITHOUT THE NECESSARY MEDICAL AND
TREATMENT CONSENT FORMS WILL NOT
BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY
ACTIVITIES AND WILL BE SENT HOME.
THIS IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BSA
NATIONAL POLICY. New BSA Annual Health
and Medical Record is good for 12 calendar months.
Please discard all other forms.
MEDICAL RE-CHECK
Every adult and Scout who attends camp must have a
medical re-check upon arrival. To assure you have the
correct medical form, refer to “Medical Information”.
The medic will re-check each person’s medical form.
We ask that any special health concerns be brought to
the attention of the medic at this time.
MEDICATION IN CAMP
All medication brought to camp must be brought to
the attention of the medic upon arrival. Refrigeration
is available for storage when necessary. Prescription
medication for chronic illness such as asthma or
diabetes, should be kept by the person with the ailment,
under the supervision of their unit leader.
EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION
Even at camp, there is always the possibility of an
emergency situation such as fire or a severe storm. In
the event of such a situation, it is important to account
for the immediate safety of everyone in camp. This is
called an EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION. If you
or your Scouts hear sirens, fire bell, or horn sounded
repeatedly three times in a row, report immediately to
the designated area. The staff will check to verify
everyone is accounted for and give further instructions.
At the beginning of the camp week, there will be a
drill to make sure everyone understands what to do.
FOOD SERVICE
“When do we eat?” is
probably one of the first
questions your Scouts
will ask. Food service
is commissary styled
service.
The camp
provides the food and the
campers prepare food in
their campsites. Food can be picked up at the Connex
in the middle camp. Food will be transported in an ice
chest. To get your next meal, the ice chests must be
returned to the Commissary Area. Water Coolers will
also be provided. You may want to include a large
wheeled wagon in your camp supplies to facilitate
getting food to your campsite.
Food distribution times will be announced at your
check-in.
GUEST MEALS
If your unit expects guests for any meals during the
week, it is necessary to inform the Commissary Staff
in advance. There will be a fee for additional meals.
CRYSTAL CREEK TRADING POST
Del Webb Adventure Base offers a good selection of
supplies to be purchased at the Trading Post. Hours
may vary from day to day, but times will be posted
for all to see. Soft drinks, candy, souvenirs, and
camping items will be available. Various handicraft
kits and supplies are offered along with special items,
tee shirts, patches, and merit badge books. You are
welcome to come in, shop, and enjoy a cold drink, or
snack at our outdoor cantina.
UNIT BANKER
It is suggested each Scout should bring about $50.00
to buy souvenirs, treats, and other needs at the trading
post. An adult from each unit should serve as “the
banker” during the week, allowing Scouts to check
money in and out on a pre-arranged schedule. This
prevents money from getting misplaced.
UNIFORMS
Why do Boy Scouts have a uniform? For the same
reason a sports team or any organized group has a
uniform. A proudly worn uniform gives a standard to
be met. It promotes group spirit, designates equality,
and gives a sense of unity among the members within
the group. The official Boy Scout uniform does just
that. It is appropriate dress at any time during the
week at camp. We ask all Scouts to be in full program
uniform for dinner, chapel services, and any other
formal ceremonies. National Uniform Policy requires
all shirts to be tucked into the trousers.
During the day, each unit is encouraged to wear their
unit tee shirt, Del Webb tee shirt, or the standard BSA
tee shirt. There will be an opportunity to order the
activity shirts online. The unit leader will be able to
personalize these t-shirts with unit number. The link
Page 8
to order these shirts will be available on the council
website at www.lvacbsa.org.
HONOR TRAIL - SCOUT’S OWN
A non-denominational service will take place on
Tuesday evening at 8:15 p.m. during each week of
summer camp. We encourage all to attend and be in
full uniform.
KOLOB ADVENTURE RACE is held on Friday,
starting at 3:00. The race is a relay race utilizing scout
skills. This will become one of your favorite activities.
Setting an example is the most important step you can
make towards having a uniformed unit. Demonstrate
your unit spirit and Scouting pride by being the bestuniformed unit at Del Webb Adventure Base.
WEATHER
Weather at 7,000-9,000 feet can be unpredictable and
violent at times. Average temperatures will be eightyfive degrees during the day and fifty degrees at night.
A chance of afternoon thundershowers is possible and
may include hail and lightening, so don’t forget your
ponchos or waterproof gear. At least one adult should
complete the BSA online Hazardous Weather training.
SCOUTMASTER CHALLENGE
On Wednesday, Scoutmasters can compete in several
events, Rifle, 3D Archery, and Shotgun. On Thursday,
the competition continues with climbing and rappeling.
Page 9

ORDER OF THE ARROW
The Order of the Arrow (OA) is a brotherhood of
service. In Las Vegas Area Council, the OA lodge is
called Nebagamon. The main objective of the Order of
the Arrow is to promote camping in the council’s Scout
units, teams, and crews. In addition, the OA provides
cheerful service to the council camps through service
projects, workdays, and Ordeal weekends.
Thursdays are OA days at camp and all Brothers are
asked to wear their sashes when in the field uniform.
Special Thursday night activities are planned to
enhance the Order of the Arrow and all Brothers are
asked to assist with the activities. Please contact the
camp OA Chief or any staff OA Brother to volunteer.

“Captain Maurice F. ‘Maury’ Graham: Pilot – Patriot – Pioneer. January 1930”
This inscription can be found on
a Plaque situated about a mile
outside of the camp gate. The
monument was placed there in
honor of Captain Graham, a
decorated World War I hero, and
an internationally known pilot.
the Lost Battalion. The Battalion’s coordinates were
wrong. Noting the correct location, Captain Graham
reported the correct position, allowing reinforcements
to be sent out saving the lives of the hundreds of
soldiers. For his efforts he received the Distinguished
Flying Cross from the United States, and the French
Legion of Honor from France.
Maury Graham was born in
Indiana in February of 1895. He grew up during
the time of early air flight following the first Wright
Brothers’ flight in 1903. When Maury was a midteen, exhibition teams might have traveled through
his town giving exhibition flights and, perhaps, giving
flights to observers for cash. Maury, being a 15 or 16
years old may have spent long hours at the farmerfield air strips longing to be airborne. His yearning
probably didn’t escape the notice of the visiting pilots
who may have given him a couple of free test-flights
to this no-doubt excited teenager, only whetting the
appetite to soar.
After the war, Captain Graham co-founded the
Western Air Service, the first airmail service from
Los Angeles to Salt Lake City, Utah, with a stop in
Las Vegas. On April 26, 1926, flying the Western’s
first east bound flight, Captain Graham left from Los
Angeles and flew to Las Vegas to refuel and pick
up more mail. Most of the townspeople of the little
desert community turned out to celebrate this great
event. Local cowboy Bill Morgan dressed as a Pony
Express Rider, reenacted the old Pony Express Rides
by galloping out to the plane to hand a the mail pouch
to Graham.
During WWI, Maury was a pilot for the fledgling Army
Air Corps. He was a commissioned reconnaissance
pilot, flying the new (1909) Wright Brothers “Model
A” Aircraft. He flew observation runs for the U.S.
Military. One such run involved The “Lost Battalion”,
a group of several hundred men from the American
and French Forces, who became hopelessly lost in the
Argonne Forest in 1918, during a period of extremely
heavy fog. The Battalion was overrun by a larger
group of the German Army, intent on capturing the
hundreds of men. Reconnaissance missions were sent
out to find the “Battalion”. Captain Graham, being
known as the foremost Weather Capable pilot of the
time, took off in the heavy fog and bad weather.
Flying in the horrible conditions, peering through
periodic breaks in the fog, Captain Graham spotted
Page 25
Everyone followed Captain Graham’s exploits. His
reputation as an airmail pilot became legendary and
his fame like that of to a Hollywood star. After flying
175,000 miles on the Los Angeles-Salt Lake City
route without an accident, forced landing, or loss of an
ounce of mail, he was popularly hailed as the "World's
champion mail pilot".
Fate stepped in early in the morning of January 10,
1930. Maury flew into the Las Vegas Airport to refuel
as normal, but got word that a huge storm was moving
into the Salt Lake City area with heavy snows and
wind, and would probably delay or cancel his flight.
He studied the weather reports and listened to the
ground experts, but decided to fly on in spite of the
worsening weather. He took off from Las Vegas and
was never heard from again.
Captain Graham flew into one of the worst storms on
record, certainly the worst storm he had ever flown
into. Somewhere in Northern Nevada he dropped some
flares on parachutes to try to determine where he was.
On his plane he only had an Altimeter to tell how far
above sea level he was, a Compass to let him know
what direction he was traveling, a Turn and Bank meter
to let him know if his wings were level, and probably
his own Pocket Watch. There was no radio on board,
because radios hadn’t reached the point that they could
be carried aboard a small plane. Maury knew that
some mountains over 9,000 feet were to the east of his
proposed flight path, and that the winds were blowing
him into those peaks. He flew on perhaps trying to find
refuge at the airfield in St. George, Utah. In St. George
and Cedar City, Utah, where fires were lit along their
runways to guide Captain Graham, reports were passed
on that said they thought they could hear the motor of
a plane. Nothing could be done because of the terrific
storm, and Maury Graham flew on trying to find a safe
place to set his plane down.
After the storm, with the plane missing, a huge effort
was put into place to try to find the pilot and his plane.
Remember, Maury was a famous world figure, stories
were written about him due to his War Awards and
his ability as a great pilot. His notoriety was so great,
similar to a super-star today, that stories appeared
in newspapers not only across America, but also in
Europe. Search parties looked south of St. George
and the foothills of the mountains. Not believing that
he could have reached too far north, all efforts were
centered in northern Nevada and southern Utah. After
weeks then months, nothing was found or heard about
Graham.
In late spring, a duo of searchers came across Maury
Graham’s Boeing 95 biplane in the Kanarra Mountains
near present day Camp Del Webb. The plane’s landing
gear and one wing were heavily damaged but, once
packed out, parts were used distributed to other aircraft
thus his plane continued to fly. In spite of finding the
bi-plane, nothing could be found of Captain Maury
Graham. The search continued.
Finally in late July, Captain Graham’s remains were
found in Spanish Hollow in Crystal Creek Canyon, a
security pouch of valuable mail clutched in his arms.
One story has it that the body was found In late spring, a
duo of searchers came across Maury Graham’s Boeing
95 biplane in the Kanarra Mountains near present day
Camp Del Webb. The plane’s landing gear and one
wing were heavily damaged but, once packed out,
parts were used distributed to other aircraft thus his
plane continued to fly. In spite of finding the bi-plane,
nothing could be found of Captain Maury Graham.
The search continued.
Finally in late July, Captain Graham’s remains were
found in Spanish Hollow in Crystal Creek Canyon, a
security pouch of valuable mail clutched in his arms.
One story has it that the body was found in the midst
of some wheat plants. Captain Graham had taken to
chewing wheat seeds in order to help him break his
smoking habit. His helmet had sustained a large dent,
indicating that he must have sustained a head injury.
Other injuries were apparent but were the result of
the body being found by animals. Captain Graham’s
remains were packed out by his close friend, and later
his ashes were spread over the mountains of his mail
route.
A monument was placed
near where Maury Graham
was found, the monument
mentioned at the beginning
of this story. His personal
log had also been found
with Captain Graham’s
remains, with this last
written entry: “January 11,
1930, 2:30 AM.
Arrived – No destination.”

BSA Swim Test Certification
A BSA Lifeguard or Red Cross Lifeguard MUST administer this test. A copy of their certification card MUST
accompany this form. Incomplete forms, or absence of proof of certification, will void the Swim Test.
Note to Lifeguard:
It is very important that you administer this test exactly as stated. Do not make exceptions for any
reason. There are three classification levels in the BSA Swim Test. The first is SWIMMER, which will allow
the scout to swim in all areas, boat in open areas of a lake, and participate in waterskiing and open sea activities.
The second is BEGINNER, which will permit limited boating and swimming. The third is LEARNER, which
will permit wading and boating only with qualified accompaniment in safe watercraft.
SWIMMERS must demonstrate the following:
Jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, and begin swimming. Swim 75 yards in a strong
manner using one or more of the following strokes: sidestroke, breaststroke, trudgen, or crawl (no dog-paddle);
then swim 25 yards using an easy, resting backstroke. The 100 yards must be completed in one swim without
stops and include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating for one minute.
BEGINNERS must demonstrate the following:
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 the starting place.
LEARNERS are those who cannot pass the test required of SWIMMERS or BEGINNERS.
CERTIFICATION
I attest to the validity of the Swim Test administered by me on ______________________, 20____. A copy of
my certification is attached. I understand that classifying an unqualified scout as a Swimmer or Beginner could
endanger the health and safety of the individual and others.
