With the release of the new Multisport Merit Badge, the Indian Nations Council counselors for this badge are excited to offer the opportunity to fulfill the "event" portion of this merit badge.  As this is our first opportunity for this event, we will only be offering the triathlon option.  

This event is open to anyone who wishes to experience a beginner triathlon.  It will count towards the completion of the Multisport Merit Badge if you have completed requirements 1-6 of the Multisport Merit Badge.  We have two amazing counselors who are willing to work with Scouts to get those items completed before the September 13th event.

Requirements for participation:

Must have the Swimming Merit Badge

Must have a current BSA Swim Test indicating you are swimmer rank

Healthforms A & B must be completed and turned in at registration

Must bring your own bike helmet

Suggested you bring your own bike - we have some to loan out, but it will be first come, first served.

If you wish to work on this badge with our counselors, there will be two meetings established to allow you to complete requirements 1-6 before the race on Sept 13th.  We will have merit badge work days on July 12th (Good Sheppard Luthern Church from 1-3 pm) and August 2nd (ZBASE Base Camp 10:00 - 1:00).  

For the complete requirements for this merit badge, please visit https://www.scouting.org/merit-badges/multisport/

Remember that you may participate in the race even if you are not working on your Multisport Merit Badge.  If you are interested in the sport and want to understand how the transitions work, etc., this is a fantastic race to complete.  The distances are very reasonable as the point of the requirement is understanding how the event will work.  

The distances for this event are:  Triathlon: swim (100 m), bike (3 km), and run (1 km)

Please contact Jo May @ 918-378-5902 if you wish to begin working on this merit badge before the September 13th event or for more information.
