Frontier District

Attention Northern Berks units, especially Kutztown, Krumsville, Bowers, Topton, Fleetwood, Blandon, and Longswamp!

Calling all Scout troops and youth groups!

Our upcoming Bike Rodeo may offer Scouts the opportunity to complete a substantial portion of the Scouting America Cycling Merit Badge while building real-world bike safety skills.

Participation in the rodeo can help satisfy portions of the following Cycling Merit Badge requirements:

✅ Requirement 1 – Cycling hazards, defensive riding, visibility, and safe riding practices
✅ Requirement 3 – State and local bicycle laws, traffic rules, lane positioning, signaling, turns, and intersections
✅ Requirement 4 – Proper helmet fit, weather-appropriate clothing, and BSA bike safety guidelines
✅ Requirement 5 (a-f) – Bicycle inspection, equipment compliance, bike fit adjustments, brake and gear adjustments, lubrication points, and flat tire repair
✅ Requirement 6 – Bicycle handling skills including mounting, starting, stopping, emergency stops, straight line riding, turning, shifting, scanning, and signaling

Mileage ride requirements would still need to be completed separately.

If your troop or youth group is interested, send us a message ([email protected]) so we can gauge interest and build the program accordingly.
