Scouting America, in partnership with USA Triathlon, introduces the NEW Multisport Merit Badge! By combining two or more favorite fitness activities, swimming, biking, and running, Scouts can open up another world of possibilities for developing athletic skills and healthy lifestyle habits.
About the Program:
This badge acts as a natural progression for Scouts who are interested in or have achieved individual badges for Swimming, Cycling, Athletics, or Personal Fitness. By focusing on learning about multisport activities and lifestyle, we can create a fun and accessible entry-point for Scouts to try out a new recreational or vocational pursuit while gaining key life skills. Youth who pursue this badge can get a taste of whichever “multisport” format excites them most:
• Swimming, Biking, and Running (commonly known as a Triathlon) • Running and Biking (commonly known as a Duathlon) • Swimming and Running (commonly known as an Aquathlon) • Swimming and Biking (commonly known as Aquabike)
