Explorer Scout Activity Badges: Athlete

Complete the requirements below:

  1. Demonstrate an appropriate warm-up routine that involves gentle stretching and loosening exercises, using all the main muscle groups. The warm-up should last between five and ten minutes. After the session, demonstrate an appropriate warm-down.

  2. Discuss the safety rules for athletics, particularly the throwing and jumping events.

  3. Demonstrate skills in an athletic discipline to a group of young people and encourage them to try.

  4. Take part in at least two competitions or demonstrations and discuss your performance and how to improve with the examiner or instructor.

Notes

The Explorer Scout may not be a trained instructor or coach and so appropriate qualified supervision should be arranged.

If you need help designing alternatives to these requirements for those with special needs please contact the Special Needs Office at Gilwell Park.
