Health & Fitness Challenge
A Scout is Clean! Right now, it is important to practice social distancing and wash your hands regularly to stay healthy. Click here to read the CDC’s recommendations on how to protect yourself and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
All Scouts
- Learn about the importance of stretching and create a five-minute stretching routine to do each morning; record your routine on video and share it with other Scouts!
- Complete a daily home workout for a week and share your workout routine with us.
- You can use common household items as weights
- Complete a 5k run/walk in your neighborhood
- Build an obstacle course – use sidewalk chalk and other household items to complete an outdoor obstacle course. Compete with your family members to see who can navigate the course the fastest.
- Do five, one-minute-long exercises such as sit-ups, push-ups, lunges, squats, planks, etc.
- Incorporate a vegetable or fruit into every meal for a week (try something new!). Share a picture of the weirdest new vegetable or fruit you tried!
Cub Scouts
- Try out yoga on YouTube with Cosmic kids yoga; show us your yoga routine!
- Practice finding your pulse and counting your heart beats per minute.
