Real Life Opportunities

We’re all busy gearing up for Ike but this applies to any hurricane!  Be sure to include your scouts in the Emergency Preparation.

They can:

• Board windows
• Move yard art / furniture / sporting equipment into the garage
• Pack if you’re heading out
• Grub Master!  Who better to plan for potentially picnic / grill cooking than our boy scouts!  They’re better at it than we are and know what is easy to cook outside on the grill if need be.
• Gather what is necessary to care for your pets
• Assemble an emergency first aid bag
• Gathering flashlights / candles / etc in case the power goes out
• I’m sure there is more!

Put them to work and make sure they keep a list so they can get it check off anything that applies if they’re working on their Emergency Preparedness merit badge.  If they’re not already, Scoutmaster Buffaloeagle said they (the scout!) can send him a quick email that they’d like to start so they can get credit for their ‘not so much of an’ emergency drill.

God Bless and God Speed to all in Ike’s path.  If you’re reading this, you’re most likely associated with Boy Scouts.  If you think about it, you either know what to do or how to figure it out.

Hang in their everyone!  If you’re still in Houston, we’ll see you at Scouts on Monday.
