Sports Troop Program Feature

Most Scouts crave physical activity. With this program feature, you can provide a variety of ways for them to get it. Many sports, both team and individual, are available in Scouting.

Use them to encourage your Scouts to become physically fit. Point out that only by becoming fit can they perform at their best level in any sport.

Stress teamwork, too. Obviously, team sports require each member of the team to act in harmony with the others. Even in individual sports, teamwork is important because often the individual needs the help of others in training for and practicing his sport.
