This Sunday (28th June) scouts from across Fitzwilliam District are invited to come along and take part in a series of track and field events for a chance to earn the Athlete Badge. The events will be 100m, 200m, 300m (girls), 400m (boys), 800m, 1500m, long jump, discus, shot put, and cricket ball throwing.
The aim is to achieve the minimum requirement in each event, which is adjusted for age, with your best three events counting to your final score. You don’t have to do every event, but you must enter at least three if you want to earn the badge. You can find out more on the Athlete Badge

The venue is the athletics track behind the Station Inn, off Station Road, Wombwell. Registration is from 1.30pm with events starting at 2.00pm. We expect to finish at approx 4.00pm.
Entry is free, but please bring plenty to drink and a light snack to keep you going. Uniform is not required - wear your sports gear and trainers.
