Scouts go deep to earn newly-minted merit badge
By Chantelle Lusebrink Cold waters greeted Boy Scouts from Troop No. 609 Jan. 26. Submerging to 60 feet underwater, 20 of the 39 troop members completed their final dive off Alki Beach for their PADI certification for scuba diving and their Boy Scout merit badge.
“I’ve been scuba diving before in Maui and it was one of the most fun experiences of my life,” said Scout Sean Fite, 14, who goes to Eastside Catholic High School. “This opportunity came up and I thought I should take it to get my full certification.” Troop 609 is one of the largest troops in the area with members ranging in age from 11-18 and attending schools in Sammamish, Issaquah, North Bend and Renton. “It was cold!” said Scout Will Dodeward, 15, who goes to Mount Si High School. “I know 46-degrees doesn’t sound cold, but it’s cold.”

Aid For Haiti
A tight-knit, global community, PADI Members and Divers are contacting PADI Offices around the world offering help and support to those fighting to survive in the quake’s aftermath.
Right now, what the people of Haiti need most is food, clean drinking water, medical attention and shelter. The PADI organization believes the fastest way to deliver this much needed aid is to donate directly to relief efforts familiar with helping people in this region. Therefore, PADI Offices are encouraging divers worldwide to donate directly to organizations currently responding to the Haiti disaster.
