With your parent, guardian, or other caring adult, pick a job to help your family at mealtime. Do it for at least four meals.

Ideas for Adventure Requirements:

Collect grocery store ads from the newspaper. Have scouts cut out, or circle with a marker, three healthy and three unhealthy foods for sale.
Lay out a sample of each: apple, orange, pear, banana, kiwi, cucumber, tomato, celery, broccoli, lettuce, spinach. Have the den group them into what they believe are fruits and vegetables. Explain the botanical difference between fruits and vegetables, then find out which items have seeds. Cut them up while scouts wash hands, then let each scout sample at least one fruit and one vegetable.
