Accelerated Scouting: Week Three, Period 5

Even though Dale had told everyone to wear a swimsuit and meet at the pool in the last workshop, he had handwavily sent out a reminder e-mail for everyone late last week.

As the students enter the pool area they not only see your standard swimming supplies but they would also see small inflatable canoes with plastic paddles, life jackets, water wings, some craft supplies and... a kiddie pool.

Dale is also wearing your standard lifeguard gear including red swimming trunks and a whistle

For the record: Dale Cooper looks nothing like David Hasslehoff.

"Today kids, we are going to be working on three merit badges. Swimming, canoeing, and underwater basket weaving; which is exactly like basket weaving just... underwater."

"And if you don't know how to swim... Well, that's what the kiddie pool is for and we'll work on your ability."

After lecturing everyone on water safety, canoe safety, basket weaving technique, he gave a brief blast of his whistle. "All right! I didn't have time to get everyone's merit badges for last week but you all were awarded with the Hiking and the Fish and Wildlife Management merit badges from last week's hike. *More Tweets* Okay! Everyone into the pool! No running!"

Gwynn is a good swimmer, so she tries for her badge.

Gwynn has never used a boat before, but she is definitely trying.

Basket... weaving.

Wow, this place was odd. But hey, she could always send it to Froderick.

Claire wasn't a particularly strong swimmer, but she was passable, getting the distance and diving categories over quickly. Then she looked aroundfor someone to splash violently assist her with the rest.

Dean was just glad that they hadn't had to wear the dorky uniforms this week. He was a strong swimmer -- his Dad had made sure of that as part of his training -- so he tried for the badge.

Dean noticed Claire looking around. "You're looking a little lost," he observed.

Ami is an excellent swimmer, and took the opportunity to swim the whole time. Plus, she wants the badge.

Ami picked a canoe and again, tried for a badge.

Ami had read about basket weaving. She knew the reeds had to be soaked first, but had never heard of them being woven submerged. It did not seem right, but she tried anyway.

Dick was a great swimmer so he went to meet the badge requirements.

And if he could do that and dunk people at the same time, bonus.

Dick swam over to a canoe and looked for a possible partner.

Claire grinned at him,and shrugged. "Not lost, just wondering if that's all there is to do."

"Well you could try the underwater basketweaving," Dean offered. "You never know when you're going to be facing something nasty that can only be defeated by a basket woven underwater."
