2011 marks the beginning of the “Fit For Scouting” initiative which will help Scouts and their families learn and enjoy the benefits of physical fitness and healthy living. The goal of this program is to introduce and educate our Scouts, their families and our communities about the many ways in which healthy living can be incorporated into daily life. The program will officially be kicked off on May 7 at Camp Lazarus with the Outdoor Health and Fitness Expo. The expo will be full of interactive activities and stations that will allow Scouts and their families to experience different methods of healthy living. The attached form has much more information on the Expo.
-The expo will take place from 9:00am-4:00pm and will include inflatables, geocaching, a family hike, high adventure activities, programs with Columbus’ sports teams and many other activities which will be promoting physical fitness and healthy living.
-Runners can also sign up for a 5k trail run that will start at 8:00am.
-Event attendees will have the opportunity to meet Olympic Gold Medalist Butch Reynolds and Heisman Trophy Winner Eddie George from Ohio State.
