Most accidents in aquatic activities are caused by the lack
of adult supervision and discipline. Almost every accidental drowning
can be attributed to the violation of one or more safe swim defenses.
Safe Swim Defense and Safety Afloat are required courses
for your unit to participate in ANY aquatic activity. This training is
offered to any registered adult leader, and is appropriate for Cub Scout,
Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, Venturing or Explorer Leaders.
Please complete the registration
form and send to the Council Service Center.
The training fee for this class has been
eliminated. Patches will be sold separately.
For more information about the classes, contact Bridget Capen at our Florham Park Service
Center, 973-765-9322 x222. Classes will also be held at the
University of Scouting in October, however, a separate registration
form will be required. More information can be found at our Do It Online page.
Facilitators wishing to conduct their own training should
request a kit. Please see Facilitator flyer
