Troop 170 Boy Scouts of Marianna met on August 20, at Citizens’ Lodge Park to continue participating in their physical fitness challenge, which is one of the required feats to earn the rank of Tenderfoot. The ongoing theme remained “Steps to Better Fitness”, with the Scout Oath emphasizing the goal for Scouts to do their best to keep physically fit, mentally awake, and morally straight.
The Scouts had already completed Step One of this challenge in June of this year, which involved performing a variety of standard exercises to establish a baseline for testing future progress. Two months ago, each Scout had a turn to attempt push-ups, sit ups, pull ups, the standing broad jump, and a one-quarter mile run, with timed results and measurements being recorded in their handbooks. These same exercises were performed again at the most recent meeting, and each of the Scouts showed improvements in almost every area. Scouts will be tested again in the near future, to encourage continued efforts to become and stay physically fit.
