The Cyclist Activity Badge requires the Scouts to look after their cycles for six months and carry out a 40km cycle ride. The full requirements can be viewed on Scoutbase.

At our first meeting for the Cyclist badge we had three bases set up. First was mending a puncture, then adjusting brakes, gears and saddles, and finally a cycle inspection.

See how the Monday and Tuesday troops got on.

Our second meeting involved talking part in a cycle slalom, a highway code test and another inspection of everyone cycles.

See how the Monday and Tuesday troops got on.

The final part of the Cyclist badge is to plan and take part in a 40km cycle ride. See how the Scouts got on.
