This a fun filled night where all the kids from the 1st Stittsville Scout Group descend on the Wave Pool for a night of fun and frolicking in the water with your leaders and fellow Scouts. It's always a good time! You can check out the stittsvillescouts.org website for more information. Along with those good times go some rules to make sure that your children are safe. And, as some of you discovered last year, there have been new rules and regulations added to ensure the safety of all the swimmers. These rules include the swim-level bracelet policy, a "group" bracelet policy, and also required leader/parent to youth ratios. Both Scouts Canada and the City of Ottawa have strict policies on this. Your leaders and City of Ottawa staff will be on hand to provide the kids with an overview of the rules. But please reinforce with your children that horseplay in the pool can lead to accidents. Please try to be at the pool between 6:15 and 6:30 so the children can be there to hear these rules. They are also posted at the pool. The "skill level" bracelet policy is in place to help identify the youth's swimming ability. And Orange bracelet requires more parent/leader supervision than the Green bracelet. Here are the rules: · Beavers: receive an orange bracelet. The orange bracelet requires an adult within arms reach at all times. · Scouts: receive a green bracelet. The green requires adult supervision within visual range. · Cubs: will receive an orange or green bracelet dependent on a swim test to ensure they can swim the length of the pool without assistance. The lifeguards will test for this. The pool also maintains a list of children that have previously passed the test. We will try to have this verified in advance. A group identification policy has been put in place to help the lifeguards know who is part of our group. Every parent and child will receive one of these bracelets. Cost: $5/person Time: Wednesday, November 30th, 6:30pm to 8:00pm Location: Kanata Wave Pool at 70 Aird Place, Kanata, ON INFO HERE What to bring: · Mandatory: Backpack containing a suitable bathing Suit and towel · Optional:Swimming Goggles, pool shoes, padlock for locking up your valuables. You may want to consider pajamas so the kids can go straight to bed! The schedule: 6:15pm: arrive at the pool. Seek out the leader in charge for your section (or assigned leader/parent). Register and pay. There will be 3 separate lines for kids in the separate bracelet categories 6:30pm: The change rooms will be available. At this point, the kids can go into the pool area. The children being tested will need to go with a lifeguard to be tested (logistics TBD) 8:00pm: The swim ends. For those parents that are dropping off, please arrive promptly, and ensure that the leaders in charge are aware that you have taken your child home. If you bring a youth/sibling who is not a registered member of Scouts Canada, then you must complete and sign the hold-harmless form AND fill out a Physical Fitness form. Some will be made available at registration. Just a gentle reminder that there is always a certain level of chaos that occurs throughout the registration process. I have discussed with the Wave pool staff, and we will do our best to get the kids into the pool as quickly as possible, but at the end of the day, there are rules and regulations in place to keep your children safe. Please bare with us.... And don't forget to have fun! See you there! _________________ Scouter Rob 1st Stittsville Alpha Troop Sun Nov 13, 2011 9:55 pm Display posts from previous:  All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year  Oldest FirstNewest First         Stittsville Scout Group Forum Index -> Events » Event Activities All times are GMT - 5 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to:  Select a forum Scout Talk----------------News-- Group NewsEvents-- Event Activities-- Event ReportsParent InformationScouting Resources-- Scouting & How-To Information-- Knots, Knots, and more KnotsTrainingARCHIVES Fun for All----------------Songs-- Gross and Fun Songs-- Mellow Slow Songs-- Songs for Grace-- Action Songs-- Seasonal SongsSkits-- Easy Skits-- Intermediate Level Skits-- Fully Involved SkitsCheers & Chants-- Chants-- Announcements...-- CheersGames-- Wide Spread Out, Lots of Room Games-- Water Games-- Quick and Easy Games-- Team Games-- Obstacle Course Games-- Memory Games-- Fun or Steam Off Games-- Strategy Games-- Races & Relays-- Outdoor Games-- Nature Hunts-- Indoor Games-- Flashlight GamesCrafts-- Easy Crafts-- Intermediate Level Crafts-- Fully Involved CraftsExperiments-- Easy Experiments-- Intermediate Level Experiments-- Fully Involved ExperimentsCool Snacks-- Campfire Snacks-- Hiking Snacks Leaders----------------Leader Resources-- General Information-- Event Planning-- Group Meeting Minutes-- Scouting Location Info-- Program Sharing Ideas-- Leader Pocket Pieces-- Woodbadge1 Program Resources Beavers----------------Beaver Resources-- Colony Jump Start Programs-- GAMSOCS - GAMES-- GAMSOCS - PLAY ACTING-- GAMSOCS - MUSIC-- GAMSOCS - STORY TELLING-- GAMSOCS - OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES-- GAMSOCS - CRAFTS-- GAMSOCS - SPIRITUALITY-- COLONY WB1 TRAINING MATERIAL Cubs----------------Cub Resources-- Pack Jumpstart ProgramsWolf Cub Badges-- Black Star-- Blue Star-- Green Star-- Tawny Star-- Red Star-- Purple Star-- Specialty Badges Scouts----------------Scout Resources-- Chief Scout Voyageur-- Chief Scout Pathfinder-- Chief Scout Outdoor Activities-- Chief Scout Background Material-- Troop Jumpstart Programs-- Year Round Camper-- City of Ottawa Camp Programs-- Magic In Campfires Venturers----------------Venturer Resources You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You cannot attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group Design by Freestyle XL / Flowers Online.
