Scouting U Announces a New Hazardous Weather Course - Weather Smart
Weather can change in an instant. Are you prepared to make the right decision when it does?

This new course gives leaders practical guidance to:
• Monitor changing weather conditions

• Know when and how to take protective action
From thunderstorms and extreme temperatures to flooding, severe storms, and hurricanes, the course focuses on real-world situations Scouting leaders may encounter.
