Mr. Terry Randall, counselor for the Eagle-required Personal Fitness Merit Badge, will be at the Troop meeting on Monday, April 10, to review progress on your physical fitness program. Bring your documentation to the meeting.
There were 13 Scouts who began the class on January 8, 2017. Those who began their fitness program immediately will be ready for their final physical tests (which will be scheduled for a later date). If you have not yet begun the fitness program you should do so immediately. In either case, we need to know where each participant stands on being ready to complete the badge. If you forgot what is required, click here to check out Requirements 7 & 8.
