2. PHYSICAL FITNESS

Regular exercise helps to keep you physically fit and healthy. As a Cub
Scout you will be involved in many activities that will give you plenty of exercise.
Complete the following:

( a ) DO A CART WHEEL OR JUMP OVER AN OBSTACLE 28cm (11”) HIGH.
Make sure you have plenty of space in which to do the cart wheel. Keep your
arms and legs straight.
Have a friend standing by to help you in case you don't make the jump.

( b ) DRAW A CIRCLE 45cm (18”) IN DIAMETER ON A
WALL, STAND 2.5m (8ft) AWAY AND THROW A BALL INTO
THE CIRCLE AND CATCH IT 8 TIMES OUT OF 10.
To catch a ball place your wrists together and make a cup
with your hands, allowing your little fingers to touch and
spreading your thumbs.

( c ) SHOW THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO DO A DEEP KNEES-
BEND.
The deep knees-bend is part of the Grand Howl which
every Cub Scout should know and be able to perform. With
your back straight, point your hands down between your
legs, rise onto your toes and bend your knees outward until
your hands touch the floor.

( d ) TOUCH YOUR TOES WITHOUT BENDING YOUR KNEES
Stand with your feet together and legs straight, bend at the waist and reach down
to your toes until you can touch them. If you have any difficulty try a little bending
at a time until you finally touch your toes.

e ) PERFORM ANY TWO OF THE FOLLOWING:
A FORWARD ROLL, A LEAP-FROG OR CLIMB A ROPE ON A TREE 3m (10 ft) HIGH
Tuck in your head when doing the forward roll, also, as with leap-frog, wear light
shoes or go bare-foot. Never wear heavy shoes. Make sure you have a friend to
catch you if you have any trouble with the leap-frog.
When you climb the rope cross your ankles to help grip the rope as you climb using
your hands one above the other.

( f ) BALANCE A HARD COVER BOOK ON YOUR HEAD AND WALK A PLANK
15cm (6”) WIDE
Keep your back straight, look straight ahead and do not look down at the plank.

For more exercise why not work to gain the Athlete, Cyclist or Sportsman Badge.
