IMPORTANT NOTE: All people (adults and Scouts) who want to raft MUST pass the BSA Swim Test, which will be offered at some point in the next few weeks, either at a local school or at Donaldson Run when it opens.
In addition, all people (adults and Scouts) who are going to Sinoquipe summer camp SHOULD ALSO take and pass the BSA Swim Test at this time, in order to be registered as a "swimmer" for camp. You don't have to take it now, but if you don't you will be required to take it at Sinoquipe, in the lake, on the first day of camp. So it'll make camp check-in a lot faster if you take it here in Arlington.
