He should be able to run a mile in ten minutes without difficulty of breathing. This on a level road. Or walk a mile in fifteen minutes. He should be able to expand his chest well, making at least 10% difference between the chest empty and full of air. He should habitually breathe through his nose.

2. Physical Exercise – He should be able to perform a movement in any table of P.T. for schools, Board of Education Publication, and explain what effects it has on his muscles and body.

3. He should know the bad effects of smoking and alcohol on the body and health. No boy under 16 who smokes should be allowed to wear the badge. The following items of personal cleanliness should also be taken into account; He should keep himself clean as working conditions will allow; Use the toothbrush daily; Know the action of dirt on the skin; Know the action of food and the necessity of the daily rear; Generally to know what it means to ‘Live Pure’. 

What is taught in connection with the last paragraph will depend on the age of the boy and the officer’s discretion. It is not suggested that this should form part of the test for the badge unless the examination is being conducted by the boy’s own Captain.

It is desirable for the pioneer badge should be able to ride a bicycle. The badge should be restricted to the older members of the Company, and is intended to encourage Companies to work a summer programme. Divisions and Battalions may lay down special regulations on the general lines indicated.
