Scout Physical Recreation Activity Badge (RFU)

Scout Physical Recreation Activity Badge

Have fun and take part in a physical activity and improve both your body and mind.

How to earn your badge:

• Regularly take part in an active sport or physical pursuit, which you haven’t already gained an activity badge for. It could be a team game like rugby, football or water polo. Individual sports like tennis, running or gymnastics count too, so do pursuits like walking, yoga, ice skating or dancing.
• Show a reasonable level of skill in your sport or pursuit. Show how you’ve improved over time.
• Explain the rules or guidelines that govern the sport or pursuit you chose.
• Show how you would prepare before taking part in your sport or pursuit. You could run through any special equipment or clothes you need and any warm-up and warm-down routines.
• Explain how to care for the equipment you use. Explain what you should look out for when the equipment is nearing the end of its life.

Tips:

• You can gain more than one Physical Recreation badge for different sports or pursuits.
• Sports that young people play after school or at weekends can count towards number 1 although normal PE or games lessons do not.
