Summer 2023 Staff Application

Spirit of Adventure partnership with FEMA highlighted in their newsletter

The Spirit of Adventure Council officially kicked off the "Last Mile" Preparedness initiative in February 2022. In collaboration with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) this one-in-the-nation initiative is centered around providing preparedness education and information in a fun way to all levels in scouting.

The Ready Cub program is a new program within the initiative to compliment cub packs and dens with activities geared for that age level and their families. The STEP (Student Tools for Emergency Planning) curriculum is a modular emergency preparedness program for Webelos age scouts with fun activities that can be used in many different settings, inside and outside of school. The final piece of the "Last Mile" has been the success of FEMA's CERT/Teen CERT (Community Emergency Response Training) program. The SoA 4th Basic CERT training program is in progress and will be completed on April 29th. We are fortunate to not only have the support of FEMA (see attached article), but have a great relationship with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), the Methuen, MA Emergency Manager and the Methuen Police Law Enforcement Exploring Post 911. For more information on Ready Cub, please contact Ronnie Andersson at readycub@scoutspirit.org, for the STEP program contact Arlene Magoon at amagoon@inbx.com, and the CERT/Teen CERT program contact Dan Perenick at fema-scouting@scoutspirit.org.
