Before going boating, all Scouts must demonstrate that they can swim without a lifejacket for 50m and then thread water for 2 minutes as per Scouting Ireland Boating Guidelines. The Manannán swim test will take place during the meeting on Friday 12 April.

In addition to full uniform as usual, Scouts will need: boating shoes/booties/old runners that can get wet, t-shirt that can get wet, swimming shorts, towel.

Scouts should contact their Watch Leader with any questions.
