Be Prepared

We all know disasters can happen but we don't like to think it will happen to us or in our community. With the current situation, it's a reminder that we should prepare our children to handle disasters. It's about preparing and not scaring.

Here's an article from the University of Illinois that can guide you in preparing your children for disasters. Preparing Youth is One Strategy for Community Disaster Preparedness.

Outdoor Skills

Many outdoor skills are useful in the event of emergencies and disasters. This spring, we will cover  navigation, map reading, shelter, fire starting, water purification and more.

 Basic First Aid

Whether you are indoors or outside, the knowledge of basic first aid can help in many situations.  Being prepared and having a first aid kit is an essential step in keeping your youth informed, knowledgeable and ready to help.  This spring, we will cover basic first aid kits for indoors and outside.

Resources

As we create our programs, we will post useful, youth-friendly articles in this section.
