Directions

This activity is designed to be done at home where the Cub Scout lives.

Before the Activity

Review how to contact emergency services using the home alarm system or voice-activated smart device.

During the Activity

Ask the Cub Scout if they know the number to call in case of an emergency.
Ask Cub Scouts when they think they should call 911. Listen for these:
- If there is a fire where there isn’t supposed to be one
- They see someone unconscious (they look like they are sleeping but they won’t wake up)
- They see someone has trouble breathing or stops breathing.
- They see someone is choking
- They see a crime happening
- If they see a car accident and there are no emergency services vehicles
Show them how to contact emergency services using the home alarm system or voice-activated smart device without actually contacting 911.
Work with the Cub Scout to practice calling 911 by asking the questions that a 911 operator will ask. Give the situation that the Cub Scout sees one of the adults at home grab their chest and fall to the ground.
- Where are you? Where is the scene? The location of the emergency, including the street address.
- Who’s involved? Is anyone hurt? Name(s) and/or physical description(s) of people involved.
- When did it happen? Is it going on right now?
