Lightning Safety Week: June 21-27, 2009
When the Thunder Roars, Go Indoors! is this year's theme for Lightning Safety Awareness Week. The information makes a great topic for your next unit meeting.
Are you prepared not only for lightning but for other weather hazards associated with our outdoor classroom? If you have not already done so, it's a great time to join about 10,000 Scouts and Scouters every month who take one of Scouting's most popular e-learning courses, Planning and Preparing for Hazardous Weather. It is just a click away and available on your MyScouting account. In addition, the course is a requirement for all tours as of January 1, 2009.
