YHC’s church (Grace Community Bible Church) is home to the local Trail Life Troop LA 1504. Trail Life is a church based scouting group. This week the scouts were learning about nutrition and sports. The normal leader backed out due to an unexpected commitment at the last minute. YHC needed to teach the scouts about exercise and the only exercise he knows is F3, so he took six kids through their first beatdown at dusk yesterday evening.
Started with the typical disclaimer and spent a lot of time teaching the boys about cadence. 4-8 year old boys do not do well with cadence.
Then spent a long time getting the boys to stand in a circle. 4-8 year old boys do not do well with basic instructions.
The warm-up was a five count in cadence for SSH, Peter Parkers, Imperial Walkers, and Windmills.
Then the boys did a run of sevens. Sevens went much better than the warm-up in cadence. The Pax started with six LBC’s on one side of the yard and did 1 SSH on the other. They completed the full run of sevens with ease.
YHC had limited time, so the PAX ended with a little Mary. Ten counts in cadence of both penguins and dying cockroaches.
The boys did the standard circle of trust and we named them. YHC did not receive any help with the names from the PAX, so he picked something from each of the boy’s favorite shows. We had Splinter, Garmadon, Marshal, Mustang, Black Hamster, and Doctor Strange.
If any of you are interested in getting your 2.0 involved with Trail Life, let YHC know. He would love to have a couple of F3 dads involved with our local troop. Trail Life USA
