   The History of Canoe Trails

       It is believed that Canoe Trails began in 
  1947, under the direction of Dr. Everett 
  Partridge who began taking his Boy Scouts on 
     Canadian canoe trips. In 1965, Mr. George S. 
     Wildman began the Co-Ed Canoe Trails program to 
     enable girls to have the opportunity to have 
     this same enjoyment. Today, both the Boys and 
     the Co-Ed programs run simultaneously.

    The home base for the programs is in Beaver, 
     Pennsylvania with a present Canadian base
in Kipawa, Quebec, Canada.

    Swim Test Date: Saturday, May 19th at 1:00pm
    Location: New Brighton YMCA
    Cost: $2.00 per person

    We will be heading to the YMCA from camp--take the swim test--and head
    back to camp for the evening.

    PLEASE READ:

    You need to at least attend the swimming test during the CT events next weekend.
    As it stands right now, this will be the ONLY swim test for the 2012 season and
    it is REQUIRED.

    According to Boy Scout rules, Canoe Trails cannot let anyone participate in
    water activities without an updated swim test (to be taken on May 19th).

    Please make plans to be at one or both functions!
