Athletics Badge - Online

Scouts learn how to stay physically fit while working on the Athletics badge. They explore the importance of nutrition, warming up, and cooling down. They test their skills in selected areas such as sprinting, jumping, swimming, push ups, pull ups, basketball shooting, football kicking, soccer kicking, or weight training.

Interactive Online Badges are Open to all registered BSA Scouts in ANY Council. We also welcome youth 11-17 interested in Scouting to join a class

Please read the description before registering.

Requirement 3a consists of the commitment of a 3 month training program! Please review before you purchase this ticket.

The EPIC Badges Difference:

• Classes taught by registered Badge Counselors who are experts in their field.
• All Epic Badge Counselors have current YPT Certification

• Dedicated support team to provide prompt answers before, during and after your class

Pre-Requisites - Be Prepared.

Scouts are expected to come prepared with answers to requirements to the best of their ability

We will email you a digital blue card once you successfully complete all requirements. However, a Blue Card is not COMPLETE until your Unit Leader signs it. We recommend receiving approval to take the course and once you receive the Blue Card pass it to your Unit Leader for final signatures - digital or ink? That is up to your Unit Leader.

You will need a laptop or desktop computer, high-speed internet access, a web camera, and a microphone to participate in the live online class.

Classes are taught live via ZOOM.us If you are new to using ZOOM Video please CLICK HERE

The Badge pamphlet is full of information and will help you successfully complete the requirements. It provides solutions and gives direction on where to find the answers to earn this Badge. If you are unable to get a pamphlet, you may also use online and other resources to complete the requirements where appropriate.

It is unacceptable to come unprepared. You may use a Badge Workbook as a learning aid to help you prepare. Scouts are not required to use this learning aid in order to complete the merit badge.
