The swimming Merit Badge requires you to jump in the water with a long sleeve shirt on and long pants. You have to inflate them to prove you can float. It is another life skill that is taught in scouting. I will not digress to when I did it, but I will say scouting is the only place I learned this skill or taught it.
It makes for a long evening for our first years. They have done the flag ceremony, eaten dinner, went back to camp to get their clothes for the float, floated, and then had to go get their gear to go up Kyle Mountain.

You stay busy at Worth Ranch.
