About This Activity
Description
The Swimming Merit Badge Clinic is a 4- hour clinic which allows for Scouts to begin (and perhaps complete) the Eagle-required Swimming Merit Badge.
The Clinic is run by American Red Cross certified Water Safety Instructors, all familiar with the Scout Aquatics Program, most of whom are Eagle Scouts or are on their way to becoming Eagle.
A Merit Badge Counselor working for the City of Covington will supervise the clinic and collect all Blue Cards at the beginning of the Clinic. Scouts must bring a spare set of clothes, as they will be getting the ones wet which they are wearing when they arrive to the clinic. They should arrive wearing shoes, socks, swim trunks, long pants, a belt, and a long-sleeved shirt. Scouts must bring a Blue Card signed by their Scoutmaster. Scouts can bring a Swimming Merit Badge Pamphlet (Book); however, it is optional. Scouts will be provided with a Swimming Merit Badge Workbook. If you have not completed First Class, you will not be able to finish the Merit Badge until you have completed the Swimming Requirements for both First and Second Class. We will work with you individually to complete these requirements at the beginning of the clinics as to have these completed.
