• When you prepare for emergencies, use our BSA 365 Emergency Cheat Sheet (2 pages). It asks (1) did you prepare a trip plan? take a copy? leave a copy behind? (2) do you have critical emergency stuff to take with you? and (3) before you leave, did you review emergency issues with leaders. The sheet includes a BSA 365 Trip Plan you can copy and carry.
