Scoutmaster Minute: Physical Fit is a core element of the Scout Oath. On Sunday afternoon 26 Scouts gathered at Chantilly High School for an introduction to the Physical Fitness merit badge. ASM Scott Powers and Ryan Pschigoda provided the necessary guidance and direction to get the Scouts motivated for 1-mile run/trot/jog and several other activities that set the baseline for charting their progress over the next 12 weeks. This was an excellent showing for one of those Eagle require merit badges that takes time and planning to complete.
