Mrs. Willoughby says (August 7, 2007):

ATTENTION SCOUTS:  The Athletics Merit Badge class will be offered in Troop 828 beginning in September 2007.  Any scout who will be participating in an athletic activity for one season (or 4 months) is encouraged to attend and complete this merit badge.  It will also require a commitment of completing activities in 4 of 9 groups and showing improvement over a 3 month period (this means doing these activities every other week for 12 weeks, much like Personal Fitness Merit Badge).

I will meet with scouts at the track beginning Sept. 15  to check off sprinting, long distance running, long jump, push ups and sit ups --- or other activities can be chosen and checked off by a coach of your sport.  See http://www.usscouts.org/mb/mb023.asp for the complete list of requirements for this merit badge.  We will probably do this on Sat. mornings, but could also do it on Mondays before troop meetings.  The exact meeting times will be determined by the need of the group participating in this merit badge.
