Water World

Challenge each of your patrols to huddle and try this exercise in problem solving.

Problem: You must measure exactly 1 gallon of water out of a 20-gallon barrel. You have only a 5-gallon bucket and a 3-gallon bucket. How can you measure exactly 1 gallon?

Solution: Fill the 3-gallon bucket and pour it into the 5-gallon bucket. Refill the 3-gallon bucket and pour it into the 5-gallon bucket until it is full. The remainder in the 3-gallon bucket will be exactly 1 gallon. A simple solution to a problem that appeared complex!

Pearls of Wisdom—Quotes from Baden-Powell

A Lady Cubmaster was teaching a Cub Natural History, and asked him:

"What is a rabbit covered with - is it hair, or wool, or fur, or what?"

The Cub replied: "Good gracious, Akela, haven't you ever seen a rabbit?".
