Scuba BSA

[The Chairman]

The Excutive in charge of program for my Council gave me a copy of this new program last week. It is set up along the lines of Snorkle BSA and does not intend to replace certification by an agency.

Anyone have any thoughts on this???

Pete,
Are you on the '05 Jambo Scuba Staff?

[The Chairman]

I am not... but would love to be. IF they need a private forum here so they can communicate effectively, I would be more than happy to set them up.

Where are the details of the program? On your web site? Or attached to your post?

I'm a little confused, sorry.

I just got the booklet, and have not scanned it yet... though I could.

It's a PDF & I have it at home somewhere. Let me look.

for y'all to look at... Scuba BSA It's too large a file to upload here.

It seems the program will be a way to get scouts interested in diving, but will have absolutely no relevance to those scouts who already are certified. Unless, of course, they're badge collectors.

The scouts already have the best scuba adventure on earth...Sea Base.

While there has been frequent demeaning of 'card collectors' on here, I hope we remember that many of these youths do need/appreciate the positive reinforcement that badge/awards provide.

I personally see NO problem with Scouts who are certified to pickup a BSA Scuba patch for their brag rag/vest/collection.
