21 Swim Test Part 1 of 2 (Swim Test - Rowboat Race) Classification of Swimming Ability Swimmer Test The swimmer test demonstrates the minimum level of swimming ability required for safe deep-water swimming. The various components of the test evaluate the several skills essential to this minimum level of swimming ability: Jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, and begin swi mming. Swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: sidestroke, breaststroke, trudgen, or crawl; then swim 25 yards using an easy, resting backstroke. The 100 yards must be completed in one swim without stops and include at least one sharp turn. After completing the swim, rest by floating. The test administrator must objectively evaluate the individual performance of the test, and in so doing should keep in mind the purpose of each test element. 1 "Jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, and begin swimming..." The swimmer must be able to make an abrupt entry into deep water and begin swimming without any aids. Walking in from shallow water, easing in from the edge or down a ladder, pushing off from side or bottom, or gaining forward momentum by diving do not satisfy this requirement. 2 "Swim 75 yards in a strong manner using one or more of the following strokes: sidestroke, breaststroke, trudgen, or crawl;..." The swimmer must be able to cover distance with a strong, confident stroke. The 75 yards must not be the outer limit of the swimmer's ability; completion of the distance should give evidence of sufficient stamina to avoid undue risks. Dog-paddling and strokes repeatedly interrupted and restarted are not sufficient. underwater swimming is not permitted. The itemized strokes are inclusive. Any strong side or breaststroke or any strong over arm stroke (including the back crawl) is acceptable. 3 "swim 25 yards using; an easy, resting backstroke..." The swimmer must indicate the ability to execute a restful, free-breathing backstroke that can be used to avoid exhaustion during swimming activity. This element of the test necessarily follows the more strenuous swimming activity to show that the swimmer is, in fact, able to use the backstroke as a relief from exertion. The change of stroke must be accomplished in deep water without any push- off or other aid. Any Page 21 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

22 variation of the elementary may suffice if it clearly provides opportunity for the swimmer to rest and regain wind. 4 "The 100 yards must be completed in one swim without stops and include at least one sharp turn..." The total distance is to be covered without rest stops. The sharp turn simply demonstrates the swimmer's ability to reverse direction in deep water without assistance or push-off from side or bottom. 5 "After completing the swim, rest by floating.'' This critically important component of the test evaluates the swimmer's ability to maintain in the water indefinitely even though exhausted or otherwise unable to continue swimming. Treading water or swimming in place will further tire the swimmer and are therefore unacceptable. The duration of the float test is not significant, except that it must be long enough for the test administrator to determine that swimmer is, in fact, resting and could likely continue to do so for a prolonged time. The drown proofing technique may be sufficient if clearly restful, but it is not preferred. If the test is completed except for the float requirement, the swimmer may be retested on the floating only (after instruction) provided that the test administrator is confident that the swimmer can initiate the float when exhausted. Reference: Swimming and Lifesaving merit badge pamphlets Beginner Test Jump feet first into water over the head in depth, level off, swim 25 feet on the surface, stop, turn sharply, resume swimming as before, and return to starting place. The entry and turn serve the same purpose as in the swimmer test. The swimming can be done with any stroke, but no underwater swimming is permitted. The stop assures that the swimmer can regain a stroke if it is interrupted. The test demonstrates that the beginning swimmer is ready to learn deepwater skills and has the minimum ability required for safe swimming in a confined area in which shallow water, sides, or other support is less than 25 feet from any point in the water. After completing the swim test, you will be given a Buddy Tag, based upon your test, for the Rowboat Race on Lake Janice. This is part one of a two part event! Page 22 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

23 Rules for the Rowboat Race: Part 2 of 2 (Swim Test - Rowboat Race) Rowboat Race at the Lake Janice Patrol must first have been to the Swim test and have buddy tags (Event Number 6a). Patrol then checks into the lake area on the buddy board - must have Buddy Tags. Each member of the patrol must have a PFD on. There is weight restriction for the boat, MAX ONLY 1000 pounds! Patrol gets into a row boat and has to navigate a course on the water, using only their hands for power. There will not be any type of paddle/oar used, HANDS ONLY! Scoring to be done on Teamwork and how they completed the task. The Event The Rowboat will be at rest up on shore. When everyone in the patrol has their PFD's on, the "GO" signal will be given. The Patrol must pick the rowboat up off the ground and carry it to the water front. All of the Patrol Members must then enter the rowboat SAFELY! Using only your hands, the rowboat must then be taken out and around a course of three (3) floats, and then back to shore. The Patrol must then, remove the rowboat from the water, and carry it back to the original position. Scoring to be done on Teamwork and how they completed the task. Page 23 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

24 Scoring 20 pts Swim Test, did everyone have their Medical and Consent Forms? 20 pts Was the Patrol orderly at the Swim Test? 20 pts Did the Patrol follow Water Front Safety Rules? 20 pts Did the Patrol work together? 20 pts Did the Patrol complete the race? 100 pts Total Possible Score Cards you want to know and have with you! Page 24 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

25 How High? How Far? This event will be scored with 100 points possible. 25 points will be for Scout spirit. 15 point for leadership. 20 points for team effort (10 for each task). 30 points for accuracy (15 for each task). 10 points for overall attitude. 100 points total The how high measurement will be taken from points on a tree. This will remove the straight line reference that is not normally found in a real situation. The how far task will be visually enhanced to represent a stream. Measuring Heights Here are some simple ways to measure a tree's height or to estimate the elevations of towers, waterfalls, cliffs, and walls. Stick Method 1) Have a friend whose height you know stand beside the object you want to measure; a tree, for example. Step back and hold a straight stick upright at arm's length in front of you. 2) With one eye closed, sight over the stick so that the top of it appears to touch the top of your friend's head. Place your thumbnail on the stick where it seems to touch the base of the tree. 3) Now move the stick up to see how many more time this measurement on the stick will "fit" into the height of the tree. Multiply that number by your friend's height and you will know the approximate height of the tree. Page 25 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

26 . Reference: BSHB, 11th Ed, Page 122. Reference: BSHB, 11th Ed, Page 123. Felling Method 1) Back away from the object you want to measure -- a flagpole, for example 2) Hold a stick upright at arm's length. Adjust the stick so that its tip appears to touch the top of the flagpole while your thumb seems to be at its base. 3) Swing the stick 90 degrees to a horizontal position, as if the flagpole were falling. 4) Keep your thumb in line with the base of the pole and notice where the tip of the stick appears to touch the ground. Measure the distance from that point on the ground to the base of the flagpole to get the flagpole's height. Measuring Widths Salute Method 1) Stand on the shore and hold your hand to your forehead in a salute. Move your hand down until the front edge of it seems to touch the opposite shore. 2) Without changing the position of your head or hand, make a quarter turn. Notice the point at which the edge of your hand seems to touch the ground. Measure the distance to that point, and you will know the width of the stream. Page 26 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

27 Reference: BSHB, 11th Ed, Page 124. Reference: BSHB, 11th Ed, Page 125. Stick Method 1) Locate an object on the far side of the stream; a rock, for example (A). 2) Push a stick into the ground next to where you are standing, opposite the rock (B) 3) Walk along the shore at a right angle to AB. Take any number of paces (twenty, for example), and mark that point with another stick (C). 4) Continue walking along the shore in the same direction for the same number of paces as before (in this case, twenty more). Put a stick there (D). 5) Finally, walk away from the stream at a right angle to BD. When you can sight a straight line directly over stick C to the rock on the far shore, stop and mark your spot (E). 6) Measure DE to get the width of the stream. Compass Method 1) Locate an object - a rock, for example -- (A) on the far shore directly opposite from where you are standing (B). 2) Take a bearing by pointing the direction-of-travel arrow of your compass at the rock and turning the compass at the rock and turning the compass housing until the needle lies over the orienting arrow. Read the degrees (in this case, 120). 3) Add 45 degrees (120 degrees plus 45 degrees equals 165 degrees). Set your compass at the new reading (in this case, 165). Page 27 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

28 4) Walk along the shore, pointing the directions-of-travel arrow toward the rock. When the compass needle again lies over the orienting arrow, stop and mark your spot (C). Distance BC is the same as the width of the stream. Reference: BSHB, 11th Ed, Page 125. Personal Measurements Ever wanted to measure something but thought you couldn't because you did not have a ruler? In fact, you carry a measuring tool with you all the time- yourself. The most useful measurements are shown the following page. You will need a tape measure to figure them out the first time. In the spaces, record the inches and feet as well as the metric measurements. You can use them to determine how far you hike, the true size of the fish you caught for dinner, and anything else you want to measure. As you grow, your size will change.

30 Orienteering The object of this event is to accumulate the highest score, in the shortest amount of time. This is done by finding the 10 orienteering markers flags which are set up around the Rancho Alegre Scout Camp. These flags are called the control points. By correctly following the route you are given, you will progress from control point to control point, until you are led back to the start. You accumulate score for each of the control points you correctly visit, and for the amount of time it takes you to navigate the course. The faster you complete the course, the more score you earn. You begin with a topographic map of the area. This map shows the starting point, magnetic north, all to the control points, the map scale, and the route you must follow. On the edge of the map are 10 boxes. Each box corresponds to one of the control points. To prove that your patrol was at the control point. you must use the stapler-type device, you record which of the control points you are at. Each device has a different combination of punch marks, so it's easy to identify if you are at the correct control point. You must be very careful to punch the right box, because this is the only way you will get credit at the end of the course. This map sheet is your scorecard; don't lose it! Scoring: Ground Rules for the event are: 1) Patrols must stay together during this event. If your patrol walks the course, all patrol members must walk. If your patrol chooses to run the course, all patrol members must do so. A subjective analysis will be made on this rule, and points will be deducted for patrols that don't perform together. Page 30 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

31 2) Anyone who tampers with any of the control points will disqualify his whole patrol. No points are awarded to disqualified patrols. Remember the first point of the Scout Law! 3) You must use your compass. Hints: 1) Appoint one or two Scouts as navigators to use their compasses to determine bearings. 2) Appoint one Scout as timekeeper. 3) Work together as a team. 4) Know the length of your pace before you start. Step 1 in Orienteering: On a map line up edge of compass base plate with route from start (ST) to destination (DEST). Step 2 in Orienteering: On compass set the dial by aligning arrow and lines with magnetic-north line on the map. Page 31 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

32 Step 3 in orienteering: In the field, follow directions set on the compass. Hold compass level in hand. Turn yourself until red end of compass needle points to N on the dial. Direction-of-travel arrow now fives direction to destination. Pick our a tree, bush, or other landmark on that line to walk toward. Page 32 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

35 Knot Tying Background: The subject of this event is tying knots and hitches. The knots/hitches that are part of this event are: Square Knot Two Half Hitches Taut-Line Hitch Timber Hitch Bowline Sheet Bend Clove Hitch All seven knots/hitches in this event can be found in the Eleventh Edition of the Boy Scout Handbook. Objectives: The objectives of this event are to (a) evaluate each scout in the patrol on his knowledge of knots and knot tying and, (b) evaluate the patrol in how well they organize and prepare themselves to tie all seven knots correctly under time pressure. Event: The event is broken down into four parts: Part I-Check In: Patrol will be evaluated on their organization and spirit. Subjective evaluation. Part II-Basic Knowledge: Individual patrol members will be evaluated on basic knowledge of all seven knots, their uses and knot tying. Accuracy is key in this part. This is a practical evaluation and not a written exam. Part III-Speed and Teamwork: The patrol will be asked to correctly tie all seven knots for time. Teamwork, accuracy and speed are essential. The final score will be based on time and how many knots were tied correctly. Part IV -Bonus: One member of the patrol (selected by the PL but cannot be the PL) must correctly tie all seven knots blind folded for time. Accuracy and speed are essential; training prior to the event critical. Estimated time to complete the whole event minutes. Equipment: All equipment (ropes, logs, tent pegs, etc.) will be provided. Ropes used will be standard ½" manila hemp and/or 3/8" nylon. SQUARE KNOT The square knot is also known as a joining knot because it can join together two ropes and because it is the first knot Scouts learn when they join the BSA. It has many uses -from securing bundles, packages, and the sails of ships to tying the ends of Page 35 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

36 bandages. To tie a square knot, hold one rope end in each hand. Pass the right end over and under the rope in your left hand and Pull it snug Next, pass the rope now in your left hand over and under the one now ill Your right, and pull it snug Remember, right over left, left over right. Reference: BSHB - 11th Ed. Page 8 TWO HALF HITCHES Use two half hitches to tie a rope around a post. Pass the end of the rope around the post. Bring the end over and under the body of the rope (know as the standing part), then back through the loop this formed. That makes a half hitch. Take the end around the standing part a second tie and tie another half hitch. Pull it snug. Reference: BSHB - 11th Ed. Page 36 TIMBER HITCHES The timber hitch is the knot to use for dragging a log across the ground. It is also the knot that starts a diagonal lashing. Here's how to tie a timber hitch: Pass the end of the rope around the log. Loop the end around the standing part of the rope, then wrap the end around itself three or more times. Tighten the hitch against the log. Reference: BSHB - 11th Ed. Page 138 TAUT-LINE The taut-line hitch is tied on a line that is tight, or taut. Use it to tighten or loosen a tent guy line by pushing the hitch up or down. Here's how: Pass the line around a tent stake. Bring the end under and over the standing part and twice thought the loop you have formed. Again bring the rope end under, over and through a loop, but this time farther up the standing part. Work any slack out of the knot, then slide the hitch to adjust the tension on the line. Reference: BSHB - 11th Ed. Page 37 Page 36 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

37 CLOVE HITCH Clove comes from the word cleave, meaning "to hold fast." The clove hitch can be used to start most lashings: Bring the rope end over and under a pole. Take it around a second time, crossing over the first wrap to form the shape of an X. Bring the rope end around a third time and tuck it under itself at the center of the X. Pull the end of the rope to tighten the hitch. Reference: BSHB - 11th Ed. Page 139 BOWLINE KNOT Make a small overhand loop in the standing par of a rope. Bring the rope end up through the loop, around behind the standing part, and back down into the loop. Tighten the bowline by pulling the standing part away from the loop. Reference: BSHB - 11th Ed. Page 149 SHEET BEND The sheet bend is a very good knot for tying together two ropes of the same or different diameters. It is a close relative of the bowline, and is untied in the same way. Put a bend in the end of the thicker rope and hold it with one hand. Pass the end of the other rope through the bend, then take that end around behind the bend. Bring the end across the front of the bend and tuck in under its own standing part. Tighten the knot by pulling the standing part of the smaller line. Reference: BSHB - 11th Ed. Page 150 Page 37 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

38 Uses of Knots and Hitches Knots for joining Joining knots are used to tie together the ends of two ropes. Square knot. Sailors call this a reef knot. They use it to tie ropes around rolled, or reefed, sales. The square knot is fine also for tying packages and first aid bandages. However, it may be hard to untie if it has been under strain. Because it sometimes lips, the square knot is not as good as the sheet bend for joining two ropes. Sheet bend. The sheet bend gets its name from bending (tying) as sheet (that's a rope on a sail). It is a very good knot for tying together two ropes, especially if they are of different thicknesses. The sheet bend is a strong knot that is easy to untie. Bowline. The bowline forms a loop that will not close. Because it doesn't slip, the bowline is the most reliable knot for tying a rope around your waist. That makes it an important knot for lifesaving and mountain climbing. Learn to tie it around yourself, around a post, and in the free end of a rope. With practice, you can even tie it with on hand. Hitches A hitch is a knot that ties a rope to an object. Friction caused by the wraps of the rope holds the knot in place. Clove hitch. Clove comes from the word cleave, meaning :to hold fast." The clove hitch holds well when the standing part of the rope is pulled straight out from a pole or post. It is the knot used to start and finish most lashing. Taut-line hitch. The taut-line hitch is tied on a line that is tight, or taut. Use it on a tent guy line and you can tighten or loosen that line by pushing the hitch up or down the standing part. Timber hitch. The timber hitch is the knot to use for dragging a log across the ground. It is also the knot that starts a diagonal lashing. Two Half Hitches. Use two half hitches to tie a rope around a post or through a ring or a tint grommet. Unlike the bowline, it forms a loop that will close. Page 38 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

List of Events Artesian Beams Over the Beam Whale Watch Scoring: Each event will be stand alone and worth 100 points each. Page 39 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

40 ARTESIAN BEAMS high (100 Points) OBJECTIVE AND DESCRIPTION: The group is confronted by a trail of posts and a supply of wood beams. Using all resources available, the team must successfully cross the trail. Success is achieved when all members of the team traverse the trail. INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP ISSUES: Trust Balance Problem solving skills Emotional and physical balance Clear Communication Focus Individual influences on the group outcome OVER THE BEAM medium (100 Points) OBJECTIVE AND DESCRIPTION: To move the entire patrol up and over the beam while being spotted by the patrol. INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP ISSUES: Emotional and physical trust Clear and assertive thinking Gender and body image Focus WHALE WATCH high (100 Points) OBJECTIVE AND DESCRIPTION: Place entire patrol in the center of a large platform on a fulcrum and achieve a balanced position. Ask the group to move out in each direction so that all the scouts end up on the last two boards at each end, in balance. Each touch of the platform during the attempt is counted as a penalty. The group tries to accomplish less penalties on the next attempt. INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP ISSUES: Emotional and physical balance Individual influences on the group outcome Clear communication Page 40 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

43 Geocaching Note: All other events must be completed and signed off in the Patrols Score Book before that patrol may participate in this event. THIS IS A MUST!! Guide to Finding a Cache Step 1 - Researching the Cache Keep in mind that distances can be deceiving. When you are using your GPS unit to find a cache, the unit only knows how close the site is as the crow flies (a direct line). You may be a mile from the cache, but there may be a river in the way, or a near-vertical climb involving 3 miles of switchbacks, or a mountain - you get the picture. 1. Buy a map of the area from your local camping store for those caches that are off a trail or too remote to drive close to. Topographical maps (which show features of the land like hills) are best, so you can get a good idea of the terrain you will be crossing. You will also know whether to bring your Honda Civic or rent a Land Rover. 2. For car geocaches (ones you can drive to and walk a short distance), use MapBlast. Geocaching.com provides you with a link to MapBlast so you can get directions to that location. Make sure to zoom in on the location to make sure it is near a road. MapBlast can only get you so far! 3. If you have a good idea of the area, you can navigate via the GPS unit. This is best when the park is small. This is also the most challenging, and is not recommended for your first hunt. You will most likely need to do all three things to prepare and reach the geocache, though our experience has shown different combinations for each cache. I would always start with one of the online map sites to get an idea of the area, then decide on whether you need to buy a map or use what you have. Since this is your first time, it is also ok to read the stash notes, look at a picture of the cache, or read other people's experiences finding the cache. Some may be visible from 20 feet away, while others in more trafficked areas may be buried under some rocks (or in one case, in a World War II bunker!). Getting within a mile or two of the site is not usually too difficult - it is the last mile that will get you every time. Step 2 - Preparation Preparation is key in any kind of outdoor activity, but you can never stress enough the importance of preparation and safety. Keep these tips in mind when searching for a cache: Page 43 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

44 1) Have a buddy with you! Never go off into the woods or remote locations without a partner, especially when Geocaching. We do not want you focusing on your GPS unit and walking off a cliff. It is great fun, so 2. Many of the caches are off-trail, so make sure to be aware of your surroundings. If you are concentrating on your GPS unit, look around you occasionally for holes, bears, etc. 3. Bring and drink plenty of water, and do not drink directly from a stream! For some of the more difficult trips, bring a water filtration system. You can get them at most camping stores. 4. Let someone know where you are going and when you are coming back. Step 3 - The Hunt Now you are ready for the hunt. 1. It should be pretty straightforward to get within a mile or so from the cache (unless it is deep off-trail). If you have done your research, follow the map more than the GPS unit (although we keep ours on the whole time). It is inevitable that you will lose signal from overhanging trees, mountains, etc. 2. If you are using USFS roads (US Forestry service), the signs for each road can be pretty small in size. Instead of street signs, they are brown signs that have white writing running vertically. Usually they are close to the ground. Sometimes you may have to backtrack on the road to locate them. 3. It is always good to have a compass on hand if your GPS unit does not have one. 4. When you leave your car, mark its location as a waypoint! Sounds silly, but once you get deep into the cache hunt, it is easy to get disoriented. We have learned this from experience! 5. When you get close to the Geocache (within 300 feet, which is the length of a football field), make sure to check your GPS unit signal. Sometimes the signal will have an error between feet. Do not concentrate as much on the arrow as the distance decreasing, as you get closer to the site. 6. For the last 30 feet, use a compass or direct your buddy in the direction of the cache. In some cases we have had good luck circling the site with the GPS unit to get a good area to search. 7. The final feet is the hardest. It helps to think like the person who hid the cache. If there are stumps around, investigate around the base. Check for a pile of rocks. Some stashes, especially in peopletrafficked areas, are pretty ingeniously hidden, so it helps to know the container they used. Step 4 - The Find Huzzah! You found the cache! Congratulations! Now what? Page 44 of 50 February 22, 2005 Rev 1.0

45 1. Usually you take an item and leave an item, and enter your name and experience you had into the logbook. Some people prefer to just enter their name into the logbook. It is an accomplishment enough to locate the cache. 2 Make sure to seal the cache and place it back where you found it. If it has some rocks covering it, please replace them. It is pretty straightforward. 3. Remember that waypoint we suggested you create where your car/trail was located? Use that now to get back! You will be glad you had it. 4. When you get home, the person who hid the cache and let them know you found it! They are always happy to know the condition of their cache and it is nice to know that people are looking for them. Great work! After several trips to geocaches in your area, you will be ready to place your own. Welcome to the exciting world of Geocaching! Three locations to find. Each location will have an orienteering task to do. You will need to know: 1) how to take a bearing, 2) how to do distance, 3) how to find landmarks, and 4) orientate a map. Only one GPS per patrol will be provided (Garmin e-trex). Be advised that any type GPS System can be used! Check with the members of your unit to see who has one and can teach the Scouts how to use it. The Event Unit running the event will have others there that can be used. At this time, those units will be Garmin e-trex. For more information about Geocaching, go to How to use the Garmin e-trex GPS System 1) Power on the unit - wait until "Ready to Navigate" comes up. 2) "Page" to "Menu" page. 3) Down to "Waypoints" 4) "Enter" 5) If you have a 'waypoint' - "Enter" - "Enter" - "Enter". If no 'waypoints', go to step XX. 6) Down to 'Go Location' is highlighted - "Enter" 7) From here, do an "Enter" and adjust the 'N' 'W' 'S' or 'E', or the numbers to the setting you want. Use the Up or Down buttons to change the numbers. 8) "Enter" on the OK 9) Up to "GOTO" - "Enter". You are now in the navigate to mode. Note: You must travel at least the distance of your unit's accuracy before you will see any change in the direction indicator (Arrow). 10) "Page" 11) Up to "Mark" - "Enter" - "Enter" on OK. 12) Down to "Waypoints", go back to step 4).
