When I think about survival, hydration is top of mind. It is fundamental to us as humans, as in over half of our bodies are made up of water. Being dehydrated can lead to serious complications and side effects, with fatigue, headache, and crankiness being some of the first signs. Water allows our bodies to carry out basic chemical reactions and essential functions. That’s why it’s so important to drink lots of water, especially outdoors. But how much should you drink? How often? Men should drink at least 15.5 cups of fluids a day and women should drink 11.5 ......
 


First up this is a great opportunity to organize your collections.  Scott Wheeler in Michigan has been doing just that and sharing posts online of his progress.  Maybe you have a niche collection where everything is thrown in a ziplock bag. Scott’s theory is get it out, create a checklist and share that to see if others can help out with filling holes or adding things to the list.  Read more on Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter March 29, 2020… Related Posts: Scouting Hot Finds Radio #81: Scott Wheeler 2017… Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter ......

(The actor who plays Thor in the MCU has an interesting connection to Scouting himself, by the way.) James, his brother William, and his sister Anna have always enjoyed playing with their Mjolnir and Stormbreaker toys, sometimes recreating scenes from the comics and movies, and other times inventing their own. (No doubt they’ve pondered what Thor’s Scouting career could ......

Woodstock, Virginia Tower Hike Find a Tower hike near you to hike. Like most, we've been cooped up for 2 weeks and needed some fresh air.

We would each wait our turn on the trail to pass each other while maintaining our distance. I hope this video finds everyone well and stay safe. History Don’t ......

My district doesn’t have a NOVA counselor right now, otherwise, they’d be working on that right now. I’m going to be looking online to find one, but that might take more paperwork. submitted by /u/anima-vero-quaerenti [link] [comments]...
 

Because of Corona, our scout groups obviously can´t meet in person at the moment, so we started up a discord server to stay in contact and still do our weekly group hours. Our groups are from 7-10 and from 10-13. I would be very thankful for any ideas you could offer us, as we`re just playing Pictionary and a game where you need to find words fitting in a category starting with a certain letter (Stadt-Land-Fluss). submitted by /u/bobomarsu [link] [comments]...
