Physically Strong

To Keep Myself Physically Strong....

The scouting program encourages young boys to be active. They spend a lot of their time outdoors, and as the scout motto says, “Be Prepared”, they must be physically able to face any obstacle they are challenged with. He should eat a more nutritional and well balanced diet and hold off on too much junk food. This, coupled with daily exercise, will ensure his best state of fitness. This also goes to say that he must be energetic and flexible. It does not take much energy to walk to school, but it does take energy (and strength) to splint a broken leg and carry the person out to safety. (from Anthony Davis - link).
