Things I have been doing this week:
Merit Badge Chart
Learning about Why some Merit Badges have a silver ring while others have a green ring.
Did you know Silver are Eagle Scout Required? Green are electives!
Time to Chat:
- Tell me something fun you have done recently.
- What have you learned about this week?
- What do you want to learn about in upcoming meetings?
- Do you have any suggestions?
Homework
to be sent out prior to the meeting:
Sometime during the week, perform a
physical fitness test and have your parent/guardian record your
results. The test needs to include doing as many push-ups as possible (in
one minute or less), do as many sit-ups as possible (in one minute or
less) and run/walk 1-mile. I would recommend a 1-2 minutes break
between exercises. You also need to do a back-saver sit and reach
(basically sit on the floor with one foot stretched out in front and
reach for your toes). The following video (length 2:57) demonstrates
how you properly measure your stretch.
*** Please
be sure to properly stretch before and after your fitness test***
After
completing the test, you will need to start tracking your daily physical
activity. It’s recommended that you do at least 30-minutes of
activity each day for a minimum of five days per week. You will need
to do this for 90 days (30 days each for Tenderfoot, 2nd
Class and 1st
Class). The tracker can also be used towards the 90-days requirement
for the Personal Fitness merit badge. A sample tracker will be
provided or you can create your own version.
