Guide to Safe Scouting Features New Policy on Lightning Safety Measures

Statistics from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show that lightning killed 29 people and caused at least 300 injuries to others in the United States during 2010. At least 24 of the 29 deaths were to people involved in outdoor activities. In many cases, lightning has caused serious and lifelong injuries, including memory loss, muscular pain, numbness, and depression.

To help raise awareness of the dangers of lightning, June 19–25 has been designated National Lightning Safety Awareness Week.

Visit the above site on scouting.org for tips on lightning avoidance, as well as links to the newly updated Guide to Safe Scouting section on lightning risk reduction. Despite more than 100 years of folklore, the latest guidance advises that there is “no safe place outside” in a lightning storm.

 "I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June." - L. M. Montgomery

Lucy Maud Montgomery  (November 30, 1874 – April 24, 1942), called "Maud" by family and friends and publicly known as L.M. Montgomery, was a Canadian author best known for a series of novels beginning with Anne of Green Gables, published in 1908. Anne of Green Gables was an immediate success. The central character, Anne, an orphaned girl, made Montgomery famous in her lifetime and gave her an international following.^[1] The first novel was followed by a series of sequels with Anne as the central character. Montgomery went on to publish 20 novels as well as 500 short stories and poems. Because many of the novels were set on Prince Edward Island, Canada and the Canadian province became literary landmarks.
