Scouts Canada has just confirmed details regarding a new badge that Cubs and Scouts can earn, a badge that helps prepare anyone for emergencies that might arise.
The new Emergency Preparedness Program is now online including the badge requirements for both Cubs and Scouts.
As the Scouts Canada website states…”a good Scout would not be caught unprepared in an emergency. How many of you have a kit at home that provides food and drinking water for 72 hours? Have you considered what you would do with your pets in the event of an emergency? What skills that we learn in Scouting may be useful to your neighbours and immediate community during times of emergency? These are all reasons Scouts Canada believes having an Emergency Preparedness badge is important.”
Working with Emergency Management Ontario, Scouts Canada developed this new program. Just in time for the new Scouting year, this looks like a great badge for the youth to work towards.
