Pedro's E-bag

Scouts eat a lot of junk food


Dear Pedro, I enjoy the Fitness First feature in Boys’ Life, which brings me to my problem: My troop is not very health conscious, and on outings the Scouts eat a lot of junk food. How can I help them eat better?

Show your fellow Scouts the articles, Talon. Outings certainly are more fun when you’re eating the right foods to have the energy to do the activities. I can pack away the groceries, but at least the stuff is good for me (and that mailbag is heavy).
