There’s now another way to help Scouting leaders become Weather Smart.

Hazardous Weather training is available in a facilitator-led format, making it possible to bring this important safety training directly to leaders through an instructor-led learning experience.

Stay Ready. Stay Safe. Become Weather Smart.

Weather can change quickly, and being prepared to make the right decision can make all the difference.

From weekend campouts and day hikes to service projects and high-adventure treks, leaders need to understand changing weather conditions and know when to adjust plans to protect Scouts and fellow leaders.

This training helps participants learn how to:

- Monitor weather before and during Scouting activities.
- Understand watches, warnings, and changing conditions.
- Recognize signs of potentially hazardous weather.
- Develop emergency action plans.
- Take appropriate protective actions when conditions become unsafe.

With realistic Scouting situations involving thunderstorms, extreme temperatures, severe storms, flooding, and hurricanes, the course focuses on practical knowledge leaders can apply when planning and conducting outdoor activities.

Stay ready. Stay safe. Become Weather Smart before your next Scouting adventure.

The facilitator-led materials are available on the Scouting America Health and Safety Training page. Please note that access approval from Scouting U is required for anyone without a scouting.org account.

Important Note: This training is intended exclusively for use by training teams who are prepared to teach this course. It is not meant for broad distribution and should not be posted on publicly accessible websites. When conducting the course, facilitators should follow the instructions in the Facilitator Guide along with the training processes outlined in the Guide to Leader Training, available on the Scouting America Other Training Materials page.

We are looking for counselors willing to teach merit badges throughout the 2026-2027 program year that align with many of the school holidays.

Following local school calendars, we aim to offer merit badge programs on school-closure days while ensuring opportunities repeat throughout the year so no Scout misses out due to a conflict. We also recognize that not everyone will be able to participate, which is why we would love to offer a second opportunity for badges later in the year. Merit badge sessions should be able to be completed in one 6-7 hour day, with or without prerequisites. The program runs from 9am-4pm with included lunch for scouts and volunteers.

Our Scouting families’ response has been outstanding. Parents have been thrilled to have a safe, structured, and productive place for their children on days when school is closed but work schedules continue as normal. Scouts have been equally enthusiastic about having additional opportunities to earn merit badges. Demand for these programs continues to exceed our expectations, demonstrating just how valuable and needed this service is within our community. Because of that success, we are committed to continuing and expanding these offerings throughout the 2026-2027 school year.

As a volunteer-driven organization, our ability to deliver these programs depends on the dedicated leaders who help make them possible. As part of the School Holiday Merit Badge Series, we are currently seeking counselors and badge proposals for the following dates:
