100 Days of Scouting: Day 96, Voyageur training day 1

Day 96, Saturday, May 14th.

I spent the day today taking the first day of Voyageur Canoe training, and was it fun!

I learned all the correct canoe strokes, how to safely get in and out of a canoe, how to choose a paddle, how to properly fit a PFD, how to properly load gear into the canoe, and several other things.

We spent several hours practicing our canoeing on the water. It was a little chilly, and a little wet, but overall it was really a lot of fun. I can hardly wait for tomorrow.

For my 100 days of Scouting:

I took my first day of of Voyageur training.

Have a great day, and remember to keep your Scouting fun!
