Troop Activities:
In may we began work as a troop on the Personal Fitness merit badge. Much of the instruction for this merit badge will take place as part of troop meetings. However, to earn this merit badge, scouts will have to maintain a log of physical fitness activities for 3 months. The scouts received a merit badge worksheet and will be responsible to keep their own records. We will meet every two weeks to do the required measurements of running a mile, sit-ups, pull-ups, push-ups, etc. Understanding the various areas of physical fitness can be reviewed between the parent and the scout. Pretty basic stuff, so parents, take time to discuss items of instruction you feel are important for your son.
