Scouting Steam
WHAT IS SCOUTING STEAM?
Scouting Steam, a six year old proven program, helps prepare Boy Scouts not only for the Steamboat Classic Race, but helps them to complete their Personal Fitness Merit Badge, which is required for Eagle Scout. Scouting Steam puts participants of similar abilities together with motivated and understanding volunteer coaches. Scouting Steam also works in conjunction with Rising Steam which focuses on youth in the 6th – 12th grade.
WHO IS IN SCOUTING STEAM?
Scouting Steam is designed for beginning and experienced runners and walkers, in Boy Scouts, in 6th-12th grader in preparation for the Steamboat Classic 4 Mile Race.
