This activity is designed to be done before requirement 3 as part of a swimming activity.

Before the meeting: 

  1. Locate a swimming area.   
  2. Review BSA Health and Medical Form for each Cub Scout. 
  3. Review the Safe Swim Defense and secure the proper Qualified Adult Supervision for the activity.  
    All swimming activity must be supervised by a mature and conscientious adult age 21 or older who understands and knowingly accepts responsibility for the well-being and safety of those in their care, and who is trained in and committed to compliance with the eight points of BSA Safe Swim Defense. 
  4. A week before the activity remind parents, Cub Scouts, parents, and adult partners of the time, date, and location. 
  5. Be aware that unless swim tests are conducted everyone in this activity, including adult partners, will be considered non-swimmers and restricted to the non-swimmer area.  

During the meeting: 

  1. Once everyone has entered the swimming area safely  
  2. Have Cub Scouts and adult partners together in the non-swimmer area where everyone can stand.  Have adult partners work with their Cub Scouts to hold their breath, place their face into the water and blow bubbles, then lift their head when they are done.  Let adult partners know that this is to get their Cub Scout comfortable with their head in the water. 

Tip: Remember that the Cub Scout motto is “Do Your Best” once a Cub Scout has demonstrated their best, they have completed the requirement.
