Task · part of 7. Fitness: four weeks, and it cannot start yet
7a. Thirty minutes a day, five days a week, for four weeks
Required Often forgotten
After completing Tenderfoot requirement 6c (the sheet says so), and keeping track of what you do. First Class 8a then begins after this one.
Notes and warnings
Warning. This requirement begins only AFTER Tenderfoot requirement 6c is complete, and it then runs four weeks at thirty minutes a day, five days a week. Tenderfoot 6c is on the Tenderfoot page and so cannot be drawn as a step here. Exercise done before 6c was finished does not count towards this, however much of it there was.
Note. First Class requirement 8a then begins after this one, for four weeks again. Tenderfoot 6a to First Class 8a is one continuous chain of about three months in which no link can be started early or run alongside another.
Where this step comes from
- Scouts BSA Rank Requirements (Requirements sheets dated 2025-12), Requirement 7a · States that it begins after completing Tenderfoot requirement 6c, and sets the four weeks.
