We are all becoming more aware about our need to be more physically fit. Most of the suggestions for how we can bring a fitness theme to scouting are one-time events like fitness themed camporees, or short term events like merit badges.
For the last 4 months I have forced an hour of my day to be devoted to fitness. Most days I walk (2-4 miles). I figure I'm walking about 45 - 55 miles a month. I have lost 55lbs since I started.
I propose that we create an award to recognize youth, volunteers and staff for walking 100 miles in our centennial year. We could develop a little tracking card and a place to mail it in with fees for a patch.
