DUTY TO GOD
Did anybody use this as a help for completing Duty to God when I posted it in the past? If so, please post a comment here or send me an email to let me know. If it is helpful, I will be glad to resume and continue my efforts in posting a requirement each week. If it is not helpful, then I will discontinue. Thanks!

SAT DEC 20 - 6:00 am at Picadilly building; returning around 6:00 pm.
- Cost = $25 per lift ticket (please have money to Brother Paulson no later than SUN DEC 14). This cost is a GREAT deal considering lift ticket window prices will top $80 per day during the season.

Personal Fitness
We have worked on the Personal Fitness merit badge the last few weeks. Each boy has been assigned to outline a comprehensive 12 week fitness program and carry it out for 12 weeks, so that they improve on the personal fitness requirements in the merit badge, which are: mile run, push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, and stretching. We did these tests a couple weeks ago, and each boy knows their starting points (I also have them recorded). If they carry out the program they should be able to improve vastly. To receive the merit badge, the scout must improve in each area. I will follow up with the young men, but most likely parents will also need to make sure the YM are following through with the program they have prepared.
Also, for the Duty to God award, it asks that the young men outline a fitness program for a year. I recommend that they do this and pass off this requirement. I suggested that they make their three month program, and then just make a continuation of it for a year.
There are also a few requirements that each YM needs to do on his own, such as describing what the doctor asked them at a physical. Each young man should have a packet that describes the requirements, please help your son fulfill the requirements that they need to do on their own.
