Health and Fitness Activity Badge

Jaffa sponsors the Beaver Health and Fitness Activity Badge. Take a look at their partner page for resources.

How to earn your badge

1. Take part in three agility activities (for example: an obstacle course, slalom relay, hula hooping, skipping, jumping over/around props, crab football, or egg and spoon race).
2. Learn about a variety of healthy foods and make a snack for yourself using some of these foods.
3. Monitor heartbeat before and after completing a range of different physical activities and understand the reasons for change.
4. Promote healthy eating and exercise to others. This could involve designing a poster, acting out a sketch, or creating something digitally.

Guidance for Leaders

• The healthy eating elements of this badge link in well with the Cook Activity Badge. Beavers could also cook some healthy options on a fire or barbeque (eg. vegetable skewers), as part of their Camp Craft Activity Badge.
• Remember to plan ahead for any dietary requirements in the section.

Flexibility

Each young person who participates in the Programme, including badges and awards, should face a similar degree of challenge, and requirements can be adapted according to each young person’s abilities.  For more information and practical tips, see our guidance on flexibility.
