Requirements

  1. Sample three different foods that are naturally three different colors. The food much be a protein, vegetable, fruit, dairy, or grain.
  2. Demonstrate the proper way to brush your teeth.
  3. Be active for 30 minutes with your den or at least on other person. That includes both stretching and moving.
  4. Be active for 10 minutes doing personal exercises.
  5. Do a relaxing activity for 10 minutes.
  6. Review your BSA Annual Health and Medical Record with your parent or legal guardian. Discuss your ability to participate in den and pack activities.

Tips and Tricks

  • The annual review of a Scout’s BSA health and medical forms is a new requirement for each rank. These forms are required for various Scouting activities. However, I would recommend completing only the forms required for parents/guardians to fill out.
  • I personally don’t like adventures that require food. I recommend tasking another adult(s) to bring a few different food from the color wheel in the handbook.
  • Remember that for the 30-minute active time includes 10 minutes of warmup and 10 minutes of cool down.

Special Needs Considerations

  • As innocuous as it may sound, food textures may require some extra consideration. Having parents assist with this may help mitigate this.
  • Discuss any limitations your Scout(s) may have with their parent or guardian. Attempt to work within those limitations as best you can.
