Strength and good health are important to you now for sports and games. They'll be important to you all your life. Athletes know that a good training program includes exercises that build strength and endurance. Endurance means the ability to keep going in a race or in playing a sport. The Boy Scouts of America has standards to test the strength and endurance of boys. The standards for 9-, 10-, and 11-year old boys are shown in the Webelos Scout Book. See if you can meet the standards. If you can't meet all of them the first time you try, don't let that stop you. The more you work on each test, the higher your rating should be. This means you're growing stronger. Keep a record of all your scores. |
