On July 6-7 2007,  Troop 230 will be having an adventure "Funday event" consisting of water activities on, in, and around Finger Lake. The intent of this "Funday weekend" is to have a good time, and the scouts that attend will have the opportunity to waterki, canoe, motorboat, swim, and fish. Additionally, there will be a Motorboating Merit Badge Class, and so there will be an opportunity to complete most portions of that merit badge during the "Funday." Obviously, it is imperative that every scout who attends be classified as a "SWIMMER." We will not be doing swim instruction and scouts that are not swimmers have no business working on merit badges that take place in and around deep water that is neither crystal clear nor warm. Further, while it is the intent of the leadership of this troop to minimize risks wherever possible and personal flotation devices will be mandatory for all boating related activities, nevertheless there is an increased risk that must be recognized when scouts are spending a day involved in a multitude of activities around deep water and power boats.
