ADULTS and SCOUTS! Please pick one of these dates to take the Swim Test so that the Troop won't have to wait in line at Heritage. It is also needed for the rafting trip in June, the 3- or 5-day Canoe trip in August, and any other water-based activity the troop does this summer. ADULTS and SCOUTS need this!
