September is National Preparedness Month

The Spirit of Adventure Council Preparedness Initiative Committee, the Health and Safety Committee and Emergency Management Exploring Post #4 would like to remind all that September is National Preparedness Month and we would like you all to take a few moments to review the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Ready Campaign link to make sure you, your family, your neighbors, friends and co-workers are “Prepared” for emergencies. This year’s theme is “Americans Stand Ready-To Keep Their Loved Ones Safe By Preparing for Emergencies and Disasters”.

Recommended key steps to take: Be Informed, Make a Plan, Build a Kit and Get Involved.

Spirit of Adventure Council fall Preparedness Day will be held on Saturday November 21, 2026 at New England Base Camp in Milton, MA. There will be a two-hour train the trainer class for adult Cub Leaders to teach the Ready Cub Program at the local Den and Pack level. There will be Ready Scout Merit Badge classes for Scouts and Venture Scouts so they can earn the Ready Scout Award and another Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) “Hands On” Day will be offered to complete certification for Basic CERT and Teen CERT programs.
