SAFETY
Knowing about safety helps Scouts to make the right choices and to take the best actions to avoid accidents by making informed choices in their everyday activities and to respond appropriately during an emergency situation. Any place, even the home, can have incidents. Scouts learn how to keep their home and family safe.
