Again Camp Buffalo Summer Camp will use the 1971 Pool. We plan by next year to have a new pool next to the new Shower House across Scout Road.

Soon we will publish here the schedule of classes at the pool and open swim times!

Here are some of the Pool Rules:

-Anyone who has or had had diarrhea in the past two weeks shall not use the pool.
-Anyone who has an area of exposed subepidermal tissue, open blisters, cuts, etc. is advised not to use the pool.
-All persons (that means you) shall take a cleansing shower before using the pool. A bather leaving the pool to use the toilet shall take another cleansing shower before returning to the pool enclosure.
-Spitting, spouting of water, blowing of nose and similar behavior in the pool is prohibited.
-No running or rough play is permitted in the pool area.
-Street clothes are not allowed in the pool.
-All diaper aged children shall use plastic pants with tight fitting elastic at the legs and waist or swim diapers.
-Do not change diapers at poolside.
-No Diving.
-Properly handle your buddy board tags. Don’t forget to check out when you leave.
-Obey the commands given by the lifeguard/aquatic staff.

Even Scout Leaders Like Swimming, here are 3 leaders from the 1980’s showing off:

Here are two photos one without the roof on the shower facility (year was 1988) and a picture of the pool and shower facility in this century.

 

Do you know where swimming, lifesaving, rowing and canoeing merit badges were done before our pool was built in 1971??  And where boating and canoeing was done before Liberty Lake?? (scroll down a ways for the answer and some pics)
