2011 – My Best Self – Activity List

Activity ideas

Listed under each requirement

Step 1 – Get to know your body

Record something about yourself (hair/eye color, favorites, what makes you feel happy/hungry/tired/nervous/sad/angry/thirsty, OR how are you unique) and share.

Step 2 – Eat and play in a healthy way

Try a new healthy habit (3 new foods, 3 types of exercises, OR a week of no sweetened soda/juice).

Step 3 – Find out how your body works

Learn a body fact (why tummies might hurt, why are temps high/low, OR how does the body make it’s own bandages).

Step 4 – Know what to do if something bugs you

Find one way to create happiness when feeling down (happy box, track feelings, OR movement for 5 minutes).

Step 5 – Meet a health helper

Meet a someone trained in healthcare (doctor, dentist, optometrist, nurse, counselor, EMT, OR firefighter).
GSUSA recommended a guest speaker.

  • The Troop First Aider who has their current CPR Certification qualifies. Have them lead the meeting or one of the activities and answer any health questions the scouts have.
