#2 | Nutrition Discusion
#2 | Nutrition Discusion
Discuss the following.
What are good snacks that give you energy and help your body be stronger? (Eggs, nuts, fruits, vegetables, etc.)
When you eat nutritious snacks you are helping your body! A favorite scout snack is trail mix because it has a nice mix of the things we need for energy when we are being active - like going on hikes.
Choose an assortment of nutritous snacks. Look at the ingredients on the packages. (This is a really important step because a lot of packaged food has sneaky sugar) Are they healthy snacks? Why or why not?
Some suggested healthy prepackaged snacks:

#3-4 | Play and Play Again
Do give the scouts a platform to discuss and try out their game but try to step back and let them lead with their imaginations. If they need some help suggest thinking about some of their favorite sports and then ask some “what if” questions.
What if baseball had five bases?
What if you played volleyball with a balloon?
What is the goal? What are the rules?
What if you played ‘I Spy’ with your ears?
