On Saturday, December 15th from 2 to 5 pm, the Pav YMCA in Berwyn will be offering Swim Tests for rank advancement to scouts from our troop and Berwyn Boy Scout troops. If scouts are successful at completing these tests, they can receive credit for Second Class Reqs. 5a-d and First Class Regs. 6a-d. Scouts do not need to pre-register or purchase a guest pass. Please bring $5 fee and your swimsuit, towel and (optional) swim goggles. You do NOT need your scout book, results will be recorded for leaders and can be signed off at the next troop meeting. A parent should attend with each scout since leaders will not be present at this event. The Pav YMCA is located at 2947 S. Oak Park Avenue in Berwyn and you will meet with Paige Zick, the Aquatics Director.

A Red Cross Lifeguarding Class will be offered at the Pav YMCA noon to 5pm on 12/27, 12/28, 1/3 and 1/4. Scouts who are confident swimmers and will be at least 15 years old by the last day of class may register for the non-member fee of $225. Certification NOT guaranteed. Contact Paige Zick at pzick@pavymca.org to register or for more information.

Coming soon: Merit Badge Classes at the Pav YMCA, including Swimming, Lifesaving, Emergency Preparedness and more. Information will be posted when dates become available.
