The Venturing program has a long history within the BSA. The program got its start in the 1930s as the Senior Scout Division for boys 15 and older. The Senior Scout programs included the Sea Scouts, Air Scouts, Explorer Scouts, Rover Scouts, and a few others. Explorer Scouts focused on advanced camping and worked on advancement leading to the Ranger Award.
Store uncut watermelons at room temperature. Store uncut watermelon at 55Â°F to 70Â°F (13Â°C to 21Â°C). Whole melons will keep for two weeks at 60Â°F (16Â°C), 7 to 10 days at average room temperature and up to a week in hot weather. Store it too long, and it will lose flavor and texture. Chill the watermelon before cutting.
Storing Watermelon. Watermelons are picked when they are ripe so they will not continue to ripen and soften much at room temperature; melons picked before their prime will never develop full flavor. Whole watermelon should be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Cut watermelon should be wrapped in plastic, refrigerated and used within three to five days. You can also freeze cut watermelon, but the texture will be soft when thawed (which is fine for cold soups and smoothies).
