Running with the Pack

This meeting allows kids to check of the physical requirement for the first star and also covers a lot of the requirements for the athlete badge. If you can hold this at a location that has some things set up (a track, or a preset climbing rope), it will make it easier. This is also a good opportunity to have the kids cheer for each other. Remind the kids to wear good running shoes and try to time this meeting for when it's not too hot out.
