Ready Kids Campaign
Ready Kids is a tool to help parents and teachers educate children ages 8 - 12 about emergencies and how they can help their families prepare. Ready Kids includes a family-friendly Web site (www.ready.gov). This site features fun games and puzzles as well as age-appropriate, step-by-step instructions on what families can do to be better prepared for emergencies and the role kids can play in that effort. In addition to the Web site, Homeland Security has worked with Scholastic Inc. to develop in-school materials for fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade students nationwide.
This is a resource that can assist with earning advancements, activity badges, the Emergency Preparedness Award, and the BSA Ready and Prepared Award.
