Requirements to do at home

Here are the lower rank requirements we don't or can't really cover as a group

Just by participating in 116's meetings and adventures, Scouts will complete the majority of the requirements from Scout through First Class. However, there are some we just can't do within the troop because they are designed to do at home or solo. Here is a handy cheat-sheet of those reqs. (A few sometimes do sneak into our plans, like the occasional flag ceremony or trash collecting, but you can still knock those out at home if you want.)

Requirements we don't generally cover at meetings or on trips

Scout Rank

6. With your parent or guardian, complete the exercises in the pamphlet How to Protect Your Children From Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide and view the Personal Safety Awareness videos (with your parent or guardian’s permission): https://www.scouting.org/training/youth/scouts-bsa/

Tenderfoot Rank

6a-c: Physical fitness. (This is the sets of sit-ups, push-ups, mile run, and sit-and-reach we do regulalry at meetings and sometimes on trips; once a Scout has done it twice, they've finished this.)
7a. Demonstrate how to display, raise, lower, and fold the U.S. flag.
Describe the steps in Scouting’s Teaching EDGE method. Use the Teaching EDGE method to teach another person how to tie the square knot. (Doesn't have to be a Scout; teach your dad or little sister or great aunt or third-best friend or, really, anyone.)

Second Class Rank

7a. After completing Tenderfoot requirement 6c, be physically active at least 30 minutes each day for five days a week for four weeks. Keep track of your activities.
7b. Share your challenges and successes in completing Second Class requirement 7a. Set a goal for continuing to include physical activity as part of your daily life and develop a plan for doing so.
7c. Participate in a school, community, or troop program on the dangers of using drugs, alcohol, and tobacco and other practices that could be harmful to your health. Discuss your participation in the program with your family, and explain the dangers of substance addictions. Report to your Scoutmaster or other adult leader in your troop about which parts of the Scout Oath and Scout Law relate to what you learned.
8a. Participate in a flag ceremony for your school, religious institution, chartered organization, community, or Scouting activity.
8c. With your parents or guardian, decide on an amount of money that you would like to earn, based on the cost of a specific item you would like to purchase. Develop a written plan to earn the amount agreed upon and follow that plan; it is acceptable to make changes to your plan along the way. Discuss any changes made to your original plan and whether you met your goal.
8d. At a minimum of three locations, compare the cost of the item for which you are saving to determine the best place to purchase it. After completing Second Class requirement 8c, decide if you will use the amount that you earned as originally intended, save all or part of it, or use it for another purpose.

First Class Rank

8a. After completing Second Class requirement 7a, be physically active at least 30 minutes each day for five days a week for four weeks. Keep track of your activities.
8b. Share your challenges and successes in completing First Class requirement 8a. Set a goal for continuing to include physical activity as part of your daily life
9a. Visit and discuss with a selected individual approved by your leader (for example, an elected official, judge, attorney, civil servant, principal, or teacher) the constitutional rights and obligations of a U.S. citizen.
9b. Investigate an environmental issue affecting your community. Share what you learned about that issue with your patrol or troop. Tell what, if anything, could be done by you or your community to address the concern.
9c. On a Scouting or family outing, take note of the trash and garbage you produce. Before your next similar outing, decide how you can reduce, recycle, or repurpose what you take on that outing, and then put those plans into action. Compare your results.
