During the first meeting: 

  1. Remind Cub Scouts that being physically fit is one of the Scout Laws. Explain that they will be using a log to write down activities that keep them fit and the duration of the activity for the next 14 days. Let them know that they must do the activity or exercise for at least 30 minutes. 
  2. Discuss with Cub Scouts the types of activities or exercises that they might choose. Some ideas to help them: 
    • Running 
    • Basketball 
    • Swimming 
    • Dancing 
    • Skateboarding  
  3. Ask Cub Scouts to open their Arrow of Light handbook to the activity log. Explain that this is where they should write their activity each day along with the time. 
  4. Let them know the date of the next den meeting and that they should complete their activity log by that date. 

Before the second meeting: 

  1. Send a reminder for Cub Scouts to bring their activity log to the meeting. 

During the second meeting (held 14 days or more after the first meeting): 

  1. Ask the following questions to Cub Scouts: 
    • What kind of activities did you do during the 14 days? 
    • Was it easy to track your progress? 
    • Why is it important to remain physically active? 
    • What is your favorite way to stay active?
