Description

This Eagle Scout-required merit badge teaches Scouts the skills to rescue people in emergencies. Scouts have been trusted and looked up to for generations to be able to take charge in emergencies, and by earning this merit badge, they can continue that tradition! This merit badge pamphlet gives Scouts all the information they need to earn the Lifesaving merit badge. By earning this badge, Scouts will gain the necessary skills to assist those involved in water accidents by teaching them rescue techniques and the judgment to know when and how to act in those emergency situations. Earning the Lifesaving (or Emergency Preparedness) merit badge satisfies a requirement for earning the Eagle Scout rank.
