NUTRITION CONNECTION TO GOOD HEALTH



Nutrition and fitness go hand in hand. Teach the boys the four basic food groups and what each does for the body.

Have the boys make a poster or collage showing foods that belong in each group. Use magazines and advertisements from the Sunday papers for these.

Let each boy make up a menu for a meal and let the other den members check it for balance. This would be good to do for a camp out menu. They need to be balanced also.
