Personal Fitness, an Arrow of Light Required Adventure

The Arrow of Light Cub Scout handbook says,”In the Scout Oath we promise to keep ourselves physically strong. Proper nutrition, staying active with group activities, and personal exercises are key to being physically strong. You are now old enough to also know about your personal BSA Health and Medical Record.“

Read on to discover this adventure’s requirements and fun ways to complete them!

Requirements:

1. Plan a balanced meal that you would eat when camping. Prepare that meal using the gear you would use on a campout.
2. Examine what it is to be physically fit and how you incorporate this in your life. Track the number of times you are active for 30 minutes or longer over a 14-day period. Share with your patrol or family what you enjoyed and if you feel you are living up to the Scout Oath of being physically fit.
3. Be active for 30 minutes with your patrol, a younger den, or at least one other person in a way that includes both stretching and moving.
4. Review your BSA Annual Health and Medical Record with your parent or legal guardian. Discuss your ability to participate in Arrow of Light patrol and pack activities.
