Be Prepared! Time-tested advice on emergency preparedness. An official publication of the Boy Scouts of America!

Each year hundreds of outdoor enthusiasts find themselves in an unexpected outdoor emergency. They get lost, injured, or stranded. Cut off from the rest of the world, they have to depend upon their survival skills to survive.

For most people, thanks to modern communications such as cell phones, satellite messengers, and personal locator beacons (PLB), it is merely a sobering two- or three-hour adventure. However, for some who did not take the proper precautions before they left home or do not have survival skills, it can end in tragedy.
The Scout's Handbook for Wilderness Survival and First Aid offers practical advice to help with:
  • Building a fire
  • Purifying water
  • Identifying common edible plants and mushrooms
  • Signaling for help
  • Building simple shelters
  • Practical navigation skills
  • Treating wounds
  • Responding in a medical emergency
  • And so much more!

  • Since 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The BSA is committed to training youth in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities.
