SCOUT StrongTM PALA Challenge Award
The BSA has teamed up with the White House to give scouts an opportunity to participate in the President's challenge to get fit and healthy and earn the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award.
So what is the challenge?
To earn the SCOUTStrongTM PALA Challenge Award, participants are required to meet a daily activity goal of 30 minutes a day for adults and 60 minutes a day for kids under 18 for at least five days a week, for six out of eight weeks. Also, each week they will focus on a healthy eating goal. There are eight to choose from, and each week they will add a new goal while continuing with their previous goals. Stick with the program, and participants can earn a SCOUTStrongTM PALA award patch in less than two months.
Getting started is easy and you can track your progress with a nice online tool provided by the BSA. Just go to the website here:

I have also attached a quick start guide and a program overview (both available from the website above) for your convenience.
So what are you waiting for? Let's get started!
