Got to Be Prepared – AIM #3 – Personal Fitness

Pair Up! In the Scouts we use the Buddy System. To make Eagle, its proven boys are more likely if they have a best friend in their unit along the way. Only 2 out of 100 ever make the Eagle rank.

Boys must complete the following exercises to rank-up

Mosey 1 lap around track, completing exercises at every-other light post

1st Light Post – Between buddies – 50 push ups

2nd Light Post – Between buddies – 75 big boy situps – There are 135 merit badges to choose from

3rd Light Post – box jumps to the next light post

4th Light Post – Each buddy 14 side saddle hops – Boys have to move through 14 ranks to get to Eagle

Mosey Lap 2 – Scouts love outdoor activity. Climbing is a favorite!

1st-2nd light poles – shuffle facing the cliff to the left

2nd light pole – Switch, shuffle facing the rock wall to the right

3rd light pole – Bernie – Keep that balance up!

Sidewalk to center park flag – 30 Mountain Climbers

Got to Be Prepared – First Aid

Cub Scouts are taught First Aid in every grade. This reduncancy is built-in to reinforce preparedness when tragedy happen. The First Aid merit badge is the most popular earned and required to make Eagle. “Quick there is an emergency on the mountain!”

Jailbreak to end of sidewalk at pavilion

 Relay race in-between sidewalk and track. Scouts learn different carries to transport others. Injured participants switch out with others so everyone helps carry. (2 groups of buddies broke up to play injured)

Front to Back Carry

2-handed seat Carry

4-handed seat Carry

“Oh no, your injured person has passed out and no longer has a pulse!”

30 single count Star Pushups to signify the compressions in CPR (with everyone badly signing “Stayin Alive”)

Congratulations! Today you’ve completed most of the personal fitness requirements to earned your Eagle award.  

Just as I am in the Scouts, I challenge each of you to find an organization which is important to growing our next generation and then help.  These organizations should always be ran by volunteers who show true passion in it’s mission. Scouting is noble of being supported because in the 109 year history, the 12 points of the Scout Law (how to live your life) have NEVER changed. These character traits are timeless.

I stand in front of 100 different families every August at my Cub Scout Pack and challenge parents to set aside 1 hour a week to spend with their child in a character development program. There is NOTHING I enjoy more in life than seeing that light in my kids’ eyes when they learn something new or they find new love in having fun with their friends. Don’t just drop your kids off.  Go and be there with them.  Build the relationship. This is the next generation which will impact others and our community.

      Be there for each other. Seek out those in need and reach out to them in council. There are more of those around you hurting then you realize. As a leader it is important to have prepared advice and council for those you lead. This doesn’t always have to be a word from you but could also be a direction to those who can help.

                  YHC is struggling with a work situation at the moment. I’m happy, comfortable, and A-OK where I am, yet, I’m likely being moved to a better (at least on paper) position internally. This is a stretch of my skills, abilities, and outside of my comfort zone. And because of that, it’s a blessing. I have to change my mindset and embrace the challenge for what it is.

                  Don’t get fat/happy. Don’t allow yourself to stay stagnant. If it makes you uncomfortable, it’s a dragon worth slaying.

                  First things – Topless was so named because he drove a boxtruck under the Inman Street bridge, and thus sheared the top of the truck clean off. As soon as he mentioned the Inman Street bridge, PAX in unison said “ooooh” and knew where the story was going. Bonus – it was his own boxtruck.

                  Oiler and Sparky made the trek from Dalton. Good to see these guys making rounds throughout the region – this is at least the third AO that they’ve posted.

                  We started the warmup mosey with four, and latecomers kept showing up. We were doubled by the time we circled up. 

                  9 Volt was late – highly unusual. Also described increased pace of fast SSHs as being “meth straddle hops.” Laffo.

                  PAX were in good spirits, despite the fast pace.
