Troop 60's number one goal is scout safety.  We are lucky enough to have multiple health care professionals in our troop, but we need your help to keep your scout safe.

We prefer to take precautions and prevent undesirable emergencies on outings than dealing the undesirable consequences that could occur.  This is particular important in remotes setting where we are miles from a road and evac to a hospital may take hours or even days.
