Sports
Choose a sport and do all the clauses. You may have
a second badge if you complete all the clauses again,
focusing on another sport.
1. Know the safety rules for your chosen sport and why they
exist. Demonstrate that you understand the rules and etiquette
of your chosen sport.
2. Show the equipment and clothing needed for the sport and
demonstrate its use. Explain how to take care of it.
3. Know the importance of warming up and warming down, and
occasions when it is not advisable to take part in the sport.
4. Talk to your Patrol or unit about your sport. Know about
the top sportsmen and women in your chosen sport and its major
competitions. Try to attend an event or watch one on TV. Find out
about the governing body that oversees your sport and any schemes it
may have for young people.
5. Actively participate in your chosen sport on at least
six occasions. Before you do this, with the help of your instructor,
Leader or Young Leader, set yourself a target for improvement (eg to
learn a new skill, to develop an existing skill or to gain a
qualification). Work out an action plan for the six sessions to help
you to meet your target. Discuss how successfully you met the target
with the the person who helped you set it.
