   This reminds me of Boy Scout Camp years ago (mid ’50s?). We learned how to handle a row boat. Seems like part of the training was to take a boat to shallow waters, swamp it and then get the boat upright again. Something like that.
   I just checked a list of current Scouting merit badges. No rowing or canoeing badges. Just motor boating.

   It seems so autumnal, a deep melancholy.

   @Gregory Lawrence Brown:
   My mom did the same thing with canoes!

   And the Girl Scouts do have a “Paddling” badge, along with several cybersecurity badges just for contrast.
