What is the Ojibwa Swim Program?
The Ojibwa Swim Program is a chance for your scouts to earn the
Swimming or Lifesaving Merit Badges. The Ojibwa District Activities
Committee will host the event at the Henry Ford II pool on March
12, 19, & 26. Merit Badge counselors will be at the pool to
pass scout on the Merit Badge Requirements
How do I register my scout?
All registrations are handled by your Troop, we do not accept
individual registrations and all participants must be preregistered.
Troop leaders can register their scouts by either filling out
the attached paper registration form or by going to http://ojibwacamporee.org/swim.htm
and clicking on the registration link to use the council’s
online Doubleknot registration system.
Important information about registration:
- The cost is $16.00 for each scout.
- You must pre-register. No walk-ins will be allowed.
- You must register the scouts name and the badge he is taking.
Scouts will only be able to take one merit badge.
- Make all registrations through your Troop, No money can be
collected at the pool
- There will be 60 Swimming and 25 Lifesaving spots. Once the
spaces are full no more registrations can be taken.
- Registration is on a first come first serve policy and will
start on January 14 and go until all the spots are full. Any
unit attending the January Roundtable can sign up there.
This is not an instructional course, all participants must be
