SOME OF THE OTHER THINGS WE DO OUTSIDE SCOUTS

Just like you, there are lots of things that interest the scouts in the troop.  These activities keep us busy, and give us additional skills.  Lots of the things we do are just plain fun, but some of these activities help us meet the requirements for merit badges.


Two of our members are part of the cross country teams for their high schools.  The picture below is of Alex S., who goes to Mather High School.   Alex is running strong for the finish line, trying to improve his finish by one more place.


                


This picture, taken at the same meet, is of Joe W., who runs for Taft High School.  Joe set a new personal best record for the 2 mile course, but finished about 20 seconds behind Alex.



        


Joe and Alex both enjoy running and other sports.  Alex is on the track team and Joe plays lacrosse.  Both have used their sports activities to meet requirements for Personal Fitness Merit Badge, and are working on Sports and Athletics Merit Badges.
