Swimming Merit Badge Homework Assignment

 

Many scouts participated in the Swimming Merit Badge sessions that were held on Thursday 4/22/04 and Monday 4/26/04.  Most of the scouts completed the skills requirements.  As with many of the merit badges there is also a written session.  None of the boys have done this work. In order to get their merit badge, this work must be completed and turned in to Mr. Martin.
