From Tee Lander: At the meeting on March 13, the boys were assigned Requirements 2 and 3 in the Personal Fitness Workbook. They can turn in their written responses at our meeting on March 27, and we will start working on Requirement 7 (building a 12 week fitness plan) at the meeting next week.

Here is an outline of the upcoming meetings where we will be covering the various requirements for the merit badge. March 6: Requirements 4, 5 & 9 will be covered at the meeting.

They will be assigned homework to complete requirements 2 and 3 in the merit badge booklet- written answers for requirement 2 and prepared to discuss requirement 3 for the March 27 meeting. March 27: Requirements 2 & 3 will be reviewed by merit badge counselors; We will begin discussions on how to complete requirement 7 (outlining a 12 week fitness plan) ; They will need to bring outline of 12 week plan to Apr 24 meeting. April 24: Requirement 6 ; Boys will need to wear appropriate running attire to complete : Mile Run, Flexibility Test (Sit & Reach), Strength Test (Sit ups, Pull ups & Push ups), and Body Composition Baseline Measurements. We will likely be meeting at the City Park to complete this requirement. Once they have completed this requirement, they will be able to begin their 12 week fitness program. I look forward to working with the boys on this merit badge. Tee Lander
