PERSONAL FITNESS MERIT BADGE

Boys who are participating in Fall sports should consider starting the Personal Fitness merit badge now. Badge requirements include following a 90-day physical fitness program, and keeping a log of the workouts. Sports practices and games/races CAN be used to meet most of this requirement! See the emailed newsletter to get started on this Eagle-required badge.

MERIT BADGE COUNSELORS NEEDED

Applications were passed out at this past Tuesday's Parent Meeting. We are asking that EVERY scout's family volunteer to counsel AT LEAST ONE merit badge.

Please bring your completed application to the Court of Honor. If you missed the meeting or need more forms, these will also be available at the Court of Honor.

Thank you for making a difference!
