| - | - **[[http://www.division22.org/private/Aux-BSA/cub-watersafety/safe-swim.pdf|Safe Swim Defense]]** - Talk about the tenets of safe swimming, the expectation of having a lifeguard, and always swimming with a buddy. | + | |
| - | - **[[http://www.division22.org/private/Aux-BSA/cub-watersafety/boating_fun.pdf|Boating Fun Booklet]]** - Print this out and pass it out. Tell the Cubs that if they fill it out and return it, they will get a certificate. Review some of the slides on a projector. | + | |
| - | - Play the [[http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg092/special_features/archive/InYourTime.asp|Coast Guard's promo video]] with Bob Seger's //In Your Time// on the Coast Guard's website. | + | |
| - | - Have the Cubs try on different life jackets. We showed the proper wearing of them. They played "bumper cars" with them and this gave them a little energy release. | + | |
| - | - **[[http://www.division22.org/private/Aux-BSA/cub-watersafety/SeaPartners_Patch_program.pdf|Sea Partners Patch program sheet]]**. If the Cubs answer the questions and do the activities and send it in to the NOAA, they get a patch. The big one is to do a beach cleanup. As it happens, we already had something called //America's Waterway// clean-up with the National Parks Department planned for next month. | + | |

| + | ======Water Safety for Cub Scouts====== | ||
| + | Teaching [[cub_scouts|Cub Scouts]] is a good opportunity to talk about the tenets of safe swimming, the expectation of having a lifeguard, and always swimming with a buddy. The Cubs can try on different life jackets, and be shown the proper wearing of them. | ||
| + | =====Lessons learned===== | ||
| + | - Start with the Scouting's Safe Swim points and ask a lot of questions that start with "Who knows...?" | ||
| + | - Save the handouts until the end so the Scout have something to take home. This will also avoid their trying to fiddle with while you're trying to talk. | ||
| + | - Have the Scouts try on life jackets and let them play bumper cars with them. Explain why it was more important than a life ring. It also lets them burn off some energy. | ||
| + | - Follow this with an explanation of the Coast Guard and what the Auxiliary does. Afterwards a the video and have questions and answers. We got some good questions from some of the adults present. | ||
