Directions
Before the meeting:
Print the Weather Emergency Preparedness Drill Game signs and hang the signs around your meeting room.
Review content in the Webelos handbook in the Let’s Camp Adventure for requirement 4.
During the meeting:
Discuss the actions you should take during these emergency events: flood, thunder, lightning, tornadoes, sandstorm, wildfire, and earthquake. page 232 of the Webelos handbook.
Instruct the Cub Scouts to pretend they’re on a camping trip. They should look around the room to see different “areas” of the campground (the hanging signs). When you call out one of the emergency events, they are to move to a safer spot and take the appropriate action. For example, if you call out “tornado,” they should run to the sign marked “low spot” and lay down flat.
Continue randomly calling out one of the emergencies. Speed up, so that the Scouts will have to race to the appropriate sign.
