Before the meeting: 

  1. Locate an area to kayak. 
  2. Review Scouting America Health and Medical Form for each Cub Scout. 
  3. Secure Qualified Supervision by an adult, 21 or older, who is trained in Scouting America Safety Afloat. Leadership is provided in ratios of one trained adult per 5 Cub Scouts. At least one leader must be trained in first aid that includes CPR. Any swimming done in conjunction with the activity must be within Scouting America Safe Swim Defense standards. 

During the meeting: 

  1. The No. 1 rule is to stay with your paddle craft. Remind Cub Scouts your boat buddy is there to help. 
  2. The easiest way to right the kayak is to swim it back to shore or shallower water. This lets you flip it back over and drain any water out. Swimming it back to shore also gives you an easy way to reenter your kayak. 

Tip: This requirement is done at the same time as requirement 6, 8, and 9.
