A scout's honor will not permit him to disobey in the slightest particular the sanitary rules of his camp. He will do his part well. He will do everything in his power to make his camp clean, sanitary, and healthful from every standpoint.
General Hints
Two flannel shirts are better than two overcoats.
Don't wring out flannels or woolens.
Wash in cold water, very soapy, hang them up dripping wet, and they will not shrink.
If you keep your head from getting hot and your feet dry there will be little danger of sickness.
If your head gets too hot put green leaves inside of your hat.
If your throat is parched, and you cannot get water, put a pebble in your mouth. This will start the saliva and quench the thirst.
Water Hints
If you work your hands like paddles and kick your feet, you can stay above water for some time even with your clothes on. It requires a little courage and enough strength not to lose your head.
