8th Annual Beach Safety Day

July 24 - 26, 2009
Dewey Beach, DE

Program Information
This camping weekend is designed for Boy and Girl Scout Troops and their leaders to give Scouts a very practical orientation to beach safety. The program will provide hands-on training, calisthenics with the lifeguards, simulated training rescues in the surf, opportunities to learn about ocean hazards, rip currents, ocean rescue, and public service in the field of public safety and ocean life guarding from members of the Dewey Beach Patrol under the direction of Captain Todd Fritchman.

Need a commitment by July 18th.

$20 for food for the weekend

Bring a bag lunch for Friday, swim suit, class B uniform.  As normal, travel in your Class A uniform shirt.  

For individual scouts, I will arrange rides with families.  Departure for trip will vary depending on which family you will travel with to the outing.
