ATHLETE Outings/Activities

1. Do it yourself: You can fulfill most of these requirements on your own at your weekly meetings. In fact, this is almost required because many of the requirements involve re-testing 30-days later to measure improvement. You should remind them at the intervening weekly meetings to be working out on their own so they will show improvement!
Recommend you somehow advise parents so they can also remind the boys to work out and encourage them.


2. Boy Scout Troop: Check with a local Boy Scout Troop, especially if you are a feeder Pack (e.g., Pack 234 is a feeder Pack for Troop 234; Pack 965 is a feeder Pack for Troop 965, etc). Boy Scouts must pass certain fitness requirements to earn their Physical Fitness merit badge (which is Eagle required).
• Ask a Troop to provide you an adult leader and/or Boy Scouts to work with your Webelos. Boy Scouts largely run the Cub Scout Day Camp and Troops are usually looking for leadership opportunities to broaden their scouts' experience. Always contact the Scoutmaster; if he/she is not receptive, try another Troop.
• Den Chief: A Den Chief is a Boy Scout who is assigned or volunteers to work with you Webelos patrol on a weekly basis. Don't expect him to do it all by himself; ask him to line up extra help (if necessary) from his Troop. Always keep the Scoutmaster in the loop; he will know which of his scouts have the right training and attitude and need the leadership experience.
