Task · part of 4. Agree which tests you will use
4(a). One aerobic measure
Required
The time to walk or run a mile as fast as you can. The requirement provides an alternative where a disability makes that impossible.
Notes and warnings
Note. Requirement 4 provides alternatives where a Scout cannot complete an assessment because of a disability that is permanent or is expected to last longer than two years. That allowance is part of the requirement and carries conditions; read it on the official page and settle it with your counselor early. Guide to Advancement section 10 covers alternative requirements more generally.
