Ranked #6,853 in Education, #158,800 overall

Bad weather Questions and Answers

Most scouting organizations at some point go on a hike or a campout. Pitching a tent or cooking dinner is not the only thing to be concerned about while in the great outdoors. The weather is often unpredictable. When caught in a not so ideal situation, you want to be prepared and know what to do and what not to do for your safety and for the safety of your scout group.

The questions below are some of the things you will learn in the Boy Scouts Hazardous Training Course. The course is mandatory when taking Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts hiking or camping.

Good Luck!
