Outside!

The weather is getting warmer and, in some places, actually hot.  What that means is that we have to pay attention to a couple more things when we work out outside.

 

First, we need to drink more water.  This is almost always good advice, but it is truly crucial if we are getting sweaty in hot weather.  We need to bring more than we think we need and if we’re going to be out for more than a couple hours, we might want to bring a drink with electrolytes in it.

 

Second, we need to remember that we don’t need THAT much sun.  Personally, I think I am secretly a plant and I need to photosynthesize, but even this walking plant needs to remember the sunscreen and the floppy hat.  Sunburn is Not Fun and it’s not good for us.

 

We can have tons of fun if we do a tiny bit of planning.  Let’s be good scouts and Be Prepared.
