Event Details: Personal Fitness class will run through the summer, meeting periodically to test against the benchmark skills (sit-ups, push-ups, sit & reach, and a 1-mile run. For new Scouts, participation will meet the requirements for Tenderfoot, Second Class, and First Class rank. For older Scouts, the 13-weeks of tracking will meet requirement #8 for the merit badge. This is one of the Eagle-required merit badges. You don't want to miss it! Dress ready to run.

There will be one "sit-down" class to discuss the requirements. This ninety-minute session will be scheduled in early August. The rest of the class will involve fitness measurements, building a plan to improve these measurements, then re-testing every other week through the summer.
