Scuba Certification - Lake Rawlings 5/2009

As part of Troop 55 High Adventure program we offered Scuba certification The program was offered Divers Source and we had 4 Scouts get NAUI - Open Water certification and 2 Scouts and 3 ASM's get PADI -Advance Open Water Certified .




The certification checkout dives were conducted at Lake Rawaling where the water was a cool 52 degrees at the bottom! We were also joined by 2 scouts from Troop 1530. We ad a great time. The scouts have learned new life skills and can go Scuba diving any were in the world.

The weather really held out for us. The 29/6 miles that we covered were a bit rough at times due to the mud however we are glad that everyone had a great time. Despite some logistical (driving, shuttling) challenged the troop persevered. We are pleased that the Scouts were prepared for the cold and wind at the camp. Some Scouts need to remember to stake down their tents to prevent them from blowing away. The new troop and patrol leadership did a fine job (although some patrols could have done a better job provisioning their meals). David F. did a fabulous job as the MC for the campfire with the Eagles winning the campfire skit competition. I think I recall that the SPL announced that the Bears Patrol won the cooking competition with their “Mini-Burgers” menu.
