  1. Boys are on a hike today.  If son #1 completes a few more things, he will earn First Class before summer camp (#3, he's 13).  Son #2 completed the Swimming merit badge.  We are encouraging them to log for Personal Fitness over summer vacation.

      Introduce technology to them. Have them track it on their phones, then on paper. There are many apps you could use or even Google sheets app and fill it in.

      I don't think many parents realize that we take gym 4-5 days a week usually, depending on where you go to school. Your son could easily track their activties from school, especially the warms ups that they should be doing daily during gym.

  4. My sons are choosing their summer camp merit badges.  Son #1 -- Camping, Forestry, Wilderness Survival.  Son #2 -- Astronomy, Nature and one TBD.  I like their choices. Hope they get good counselors.

      I completed it with a friend my second year at camp, and I didn’t receive a partial. Meanwhile. 2 scouts last year received partials. Make sure your scout completes the requirement where it’s like “plan a meal for your Troop for a weekend camping trip” or something like that prior to camp. No other reason why he should get a partial if he completes the pre reqs.

      Astronomy is a really difficult badge to complete at summer camp FYI.
