Scouts and Yellowjackets! (yeaaooooh!)

So there you are ......

...... on the trail, 25 miles from the nearest dirt road. You just mixed
up a little Tang in your canteen then set the open container aside so
you could put your aching feet in the creek. While you're cooling your
feet, some ravenous Yellowjackets are helping themselves to some of YOUR
Tang. When you get back to your canteen, you take a long refreshing
slug, then........ YEAAAAAOOOOOOH ! You are now a victim!

For Scouts on the trail, in a camping site, or even at a leisurly
picnic, Yellowjackets can ruin ruin your day, and for some people, they
can end your life!
