So last evening dried out nicely after a wet day, just in time for OSR scouts to complete the Athletics Plus Activity badge. It was field events with discus, shot and cricket ball and most if not all the scouts had never been shown how to throw the discus or shot! So first things first a warm up run by Rebecca and Martin. Then a tutorial on the shot putt and Ali recording the best of 2 throws for each of the 30 scouts. Some great throws from the shot and then a tutorial for the discus plus one to one tweaking of keeping their hands above not below. There is some natural talent amongst the osr troop and the local junior athletics club watching on are interested in any scout that wants to join them. Finally the cricket ball which seemed incredibly light after the shot and some long throws. Then it was the warm down and time to go home. The scores were registered and the troop ended up with 17 athletics plus and 7 athletics badges achieved. The scouts missing out were unfortunately only able to do one session due to school awards evening and or school camp this week. They can complete next time. Good job all that achieved the age banded points. Finally Hugh TY to Wise Centre for letting us use their wonderful facilities and equipment. Comments are closed.
