Plan this in DenBuddy Customize or modify

Planning it in DenBuddy starts a new den meeting with this activity already on the agenda, so you can add an opening, a closing and whatever else the night needs.

How to run it

Each scout must state their full name, home address, and the emergency clearly. Swap roles.

Send home a fridge card with the address written on it.

Safety. Stress repeatedly: never dial 911 to practice.

What it counts toward

Lion Lion's Roar

  • 3 With your Lion adult partner, demonstrate how to access emergency services.

Tiger Tiger Roar

  • 3 With your Tiger adult partner, demonstrate how to access emergency services.

Build the rest of the meeting around it

Start a meeting in DenBuddy with this activity on the agenda, then let the planner fill the gaps with what your Scouts still need.
