Cycling Merit Badge
Starts May 17th
Grab your bike and join us to work on this Eagle Required Merit Badge
If you are interested, contact Mr. Hartman 986-7459 or Mr. Friedl 986-1726 so we can schedule times.
Rides will begin from the Macedon Canal Lock. We will do these rides on the canal according to a predetermined schedule. The badge requires two 10 mile rides, two 15 mile rides, and two 25 mile rides, and then a 50 mile ride that will be planned in September. Also required is a trip to the bike shop to learn about bikes. As we go on the rides, the leaders will go over bike safety. We usually stop for a meal or snack (depending on time we ride) before we head back, so scouts should bring some money to cover for this.
Required items for this are as follows:
1. Bike with several gears (while not required for the short trips it becomes important once we start doing 15+ miles).
2. Properly fitting Helmet
3. Water Bottle
4. Comfortable clothing
5. Some money
Potential Schedule – actual date (Saturday or Sunday) and starting time to be determined by boys’ interested availability
