Req 8a — Keep Participating
8a.
Research and identify two ways you can continue participating in multisport after completing this merit badge.
The point of this requirement is not just to name two ideas. It is to find two paths you could actually follow after the badge.
Good examples might include:
- joining a youth triathlon club or local training group
- entering beginner-friendly events during the season
- continuing with swim, bike, or run practices that support your chosen format
- volunteering first and then racing later to learn how events work

Pick two realistic next steps
Questions that help you choose
- Can I get to the practices or events?
- Do I have the gear I need already?
- Would I rather join a group or keep training on my own?
- Which option would keep me excited for the longest time?
Next, you can learn from the story of a real athlete and think about what makes them inspiring.
