"Size small life jackets are now in and are being issued at both the Water Reality and Dragon Boats activity areas," says Scott Weaver, from the High Adventure Safety Corps. Those program areas, on Goodrich Lake, already stocked life vests in larger sizes.
The goal of Dragon Boats is to paddle a 100-yard course for time, and Water Reality is is a floating obstacle course in the lake that four-person teams tackle in a timed event.
Weaver also says that Scouts and Venturers need to "drink up and fill up" their water bottles before joining the activity because serious dehydration is also possible on the lake, even though water is all around.
