Home Pool Party

[PatrickPablo]

A fellow leader would like to host a meeting at his house and let the scouts use their family pool. We have 16 scouts. There will be a variety of adult leaders present as well. I recently took the Aquatics Supervision course but I'm not clear on what are the minimum age and qualifications/training for the "responder/rescuer" role (relevant since we would need 2 of them for the required 10:1 swimmer: responder ratio). [From the way the book describes the lookout role it seems that scouts can help with that role after having the duties explained to them, but correct me if I'm wrong.]

Do any of you know? I came up empty searching the textbook, the Scouting website, and general googling.
