The Emergency Preparedness Award is part of a new BSA program of emphasis for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, and Leaders, in cooperation with the Federal Department of Homeland Security.

All emergency activities carried out by Scouting units must be appropriate for the ages and abilities of the young people involved. Units should participate only under the supervision of their own leaders, and plans for unit help must be coordinated with community agencies responsible for disaster preparedness.

Cub Scout Advancement Tip

March 08

"Graduation Ceremonies from rank to rank"

At this time of the year, we all think of graduation. Whether it be in April or May, why not make your last pack meeting of the year a graduation party, including cake! Packs usually advance the boys to the next rank before the summer begins since they can go to day camp registered as the next rank. Remember to have a special ceremony for each rank advancing to the next. Tigers to Wolves, Wolves to Bears and Bears to Webelos. Each group should have a special ceremony to mark this special transition. To find lots of ceremonies, look to the internet.
