Community Emergency Response Training


Recommended Posts

I don't know what it was called as they did it before I arrived, but My OA chapter did some type of training to help run the ARC emergency shelter.

 

Don't know any details, nor why they stopped doing it. But I remember coming home early from a conference and going straight to the ARC shelter to help out.

We didn't do CERT but we do have a Troop Emergency Manager that does CPR training, First Aid MB and the BSA Emergency Preparedness program. We also got a county emergency manager out to talk to the Scouts and hopefully they will be invited to the next emergency drill.

 

If you don't have CERT available, I would suggest the BSA Emergency Preparedness Award instead. Both youths and adults can earn it and in my experience there is a lot of pride in wearing the pin on the uniform.
