FITNESS
Outings/Activities

This activity badge is a little misleading. In Boy Scouts, the Personal Fitness merit badge is Eagle-required and involves physical tests and measurable improvements. For the Webelos, Athlete is concerned with physical tests and improvements while Fitness deals with health issues like meal planning, smoking, and drugs. Elementary school regimens should include ample anti-smoking and anti-drug indoctrination so you should only need to reinforce that. The leader can probably cover this badge him/herself. The problem with an outing would be finding someone who can make their content age-appropriate for 10- or 11-year-olds. These requirements are general and not particularly deep so most leaders should do fine on their own. If you happen to be a health care professional (doctor or nurse), please scale back your presentation accordingly.
