SWIMMING TEST

Camp Buck Toms requires all swim tests to be completed in-person at camp during the check-in process.  If you plan to participate in any water-based activity, especially aquatic merit badges, it might be a good idea to determine your swimmer designation (swimmer, beginner, or non-swimmer) at a troop-sponsored swim test prior to departure.
