Natural Disasters - Be Prepared

Posted on Nov 2 2012 - 8:29am

http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/Media/Publications/~/media/Images/pubs/emergency/ep200.gif.ashx?w=200&h=200&as=1With extreme weather conditions here upon us we need to help our Cubs Scouts not only learn from natural disasters but also how to deal with it emotionally. With Cub scouts it’s not just about doing your best it’s also about learning the Boy Scout motto of “Be Prepared”  someone once asked Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, “Be prepared for what?" and he replied with "Why, for any old thing."

It is a challenge to be prepared for emergencies in our world of man-made and natural phenomena. The Emergency Preparedness BSA program is planned to inspire the desire and foster the skills to meet this challenge in our youth and adult members so that they can participate effectively in this crucial service to their families, communities, and nation. The emergencies of today's world demand more than ever that our young people and adults be trained as individuals and as units to meet emergency situations. The importance of this training is not new to the Boy Scouts of America, as Scouting has always taught youth to be prepared for all types of emergencies. Since Scouting began in the United States, Scouts have responded to the needs of their communities and nation in time of crisis. http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/Media/Publications/EmergencyPreparedness.aspxControl
