Fitness #7: Tell an adult member of your family what drugs could do to your body and how they would affect your ability to think clearly.

Drugs hurt your body by damaging your heart, your mind and your bladder (if it's a liquid). Drugs can kill you really fast. And they can make you do things like murder, which eventually get's you ten or twenty years in prison. This is because drugs make you not think clearly. Drugs hurt your brain so much, that it becomes really hard to think and you make bad choices. Drugs can make you change a lot.

Fitness #6: Tell an adult member of your family four reasons why you should not use alcohol and how it could affect you.

1) Because it makes your drunk and idiotic, like in the show the Simpsons, when Barney and Homer get drunk they get arrested a lot for drunk driving and that stuff.

2) When you drink too much alcohol, you make poor choices and end up doing things that embarass you later.

3) Alcohol is not good for your body. It can kill you if you drink too much of it.

4) If you drive after drinking too much alcohol, you can crash and wreck your car or hurt someone.

Fitness Badge #5: Tell an adult member of your family about the bad effects smoking or chewing tobacco would have on your body.

Smoking makes your lungs look all burned up and gross. They give you a whole bunch of different types of cancers. Also, smoking makes your breath and clothes and hair really stinky!!Sometimes, if you're even that idiotic, some idiots will actually smoke more than one cigarette at a time!

Chewing tabacco is okay for lumberjacks, because they're used to that stuff because they sleep with bedbugs and mosquitoes and mice and swine. But if you're not a lumberjack, that means that if you're chewing tobacco, you're just plain idiotic because it can ruin your teeth SOOO much that eventually the minute that you put it into your mouth, they'll turn your teeth black or green or yellow.

Smoking smells can knock someone out, because it's smoke. The smoke is very toxic to everyone- not just the smoker. Have you ever heard that "Don't Pass Gas" commercial, where they're really just talking about cigarettes? That's true!

If you haven't seen them, here are the commercials: http://www.dontpassgas.com/psa.swf

Fitness Badge #1: With your parent, guardian, or Webelos den leader, complete the Health and Fitness Character Connection.

Know: Tell why it is important to be healthy, clean, and fit.

It's important to be healthy because it feels bad to be sick. When you're sick, your body feels like you're about to puke out your intestines. And when you stay healthy, you are able to do anything like baseball, skateboard, and playing with your friends (unless they're sick too).

It's important to be clean because being dirty can make you sick.

It's important to be fit because you'd get lazy if you don't exercise, which can make you fat. If you have too much fat on your body, you can get sick and it makes your body harder to keep up. Your heart has to work harder to keep you alive.

Commit: Tell when it is difficult for you to stick with good health habits. Tell where you can go to be with others who encourage you to be healthy, clean, and fit.
When you're dirty you feel so free, that it's not always fun to take a bath. But my parents, cub scout friends and my doctors and nurses encourage me to stay clean and that makes me healthy.

Practice: Practice good health habits while doing the requirements for this
