Safety Moment
There is magic to camping in winter. It is one of the most challenging outdoor adventures. However, potentially
extreme weather conditions, cold temperatures, and unique hazards associated with outdoor winter activities
require careful planning to ensure safety.

Scouting has quite a library of "Safety Moments" leaders and youth can
use as part of the Scouting program to build awareness and train fellow
Scouts at: https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/safety-moments/
The Guide to Safe Scouting is another useful resource for Scout leaders
that are coordinating winter outings. It provides good
information about what is safe and what is not for Scouting
activities. Go to https://www.scouting.org/health-and-safety/gss/
