Patrol Practices In Health

Example will teach much-not just the Patrol Leader's personal actions but the example given by having open windows when meeting indoors, and open tent doors when camping.

Health can best be taught in camp where there is time and opportunity to give close attention to cleanliness and sound habits.

In camp, remember the importance of rest and plenty of sound sleep. There should be an hour's rest after the main meal.

Teach the six exercises given in the Yarn, but don't use them as a drill. Encourage the Scouts to do them daily.

Give each Scout a card on which he can keep a record of his physical measurements. Make arrangements for these measurements to be taken every three months.
