If you are a member of a local Teton County,WY troop, Emergency Management can help with several merit badges. Just give Rich Ochs a call or email to arrange a time to discuss the badge requirements. Rich is an approved BSA merit badge counselor for the following emergency-related badges (click the badges for requirements and other info):

 

crime prevention badge Crime Prevention:

Preventing crime, which can be as simple as reducing the opportuntities for crime to occur, is far less costly than apprehending and bringing legal action against those who break the law and it helps save people from the anguish of being victims.
 

emergency preparedness badge Emergency Preparedness:

Scouts are often called upon to help because they know first aid and they know about the discipline and planning needed to react to an emergency situation. Earning this merit badge helps a Scout to be prepared by learning the actions that can be helpful and needed before, during, and after an emergency.
 

safety badge Safety:

Knowing about safety helps Scouts to make the right choices and to take the best actions to avoid accidents by making informed choices in their everyday activities and to respond appropriately during an emergency situation.
 

weather badge Weather:

Meteorology is the study of Earth's atmosphere and its weather and the ways in which temperature, wind, and moisture act together in the environment. In addition to learning how everyday weather is predicted, Scouts can learn about extreme weather such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes, and how to stay safe.
